Die Specification Cold Chamber: Aluminium

This document provides specifications for casting an aluminum die in a cold chamber. It details: 1) The part weighs 462.17g and there will be 69.3g of overflows for a total filling weight of 531.5g. 2) The filling volume is 221.4cm3 and will be filled in 30ms, requiring a flow rate of 7.38l/s. 3) Key dimensions calculated from the flow rate include a plunger velocity of 1.16m/s and gate cross-section of 184.5mm2.

part weight (g) + overflows (g) x number n


Filling weight = 462 g + 69 g x 1 = 531.5 g

Filling volume = filling weight (g) = 531.5 g = 221.4 cm³


density of melt 2.4

Flow rate Q = filling volume (cm³) = 221.45 cm³ = 7.38 l/s


filling time (ms) 30 ms

Plunger velocity = flow rate Q (l/s) x 10 = 7.38 l/s x10 = 1.16 m/s
plunger area (cm²) 64 cm²

Runner cross-section Agl flow rate Q (l/s) x 1000 = 7.38 l/s x1000 = 246.1 mm²
runner velocity (m/s) 30 m/s

Gate cross-section Aa = flow rate Q (l/s) x 1000 = 7.38 l/s x1000 = 184.5 mm²
gate velocity (m/s) 40 m/s

Gate cross-section = Gate cross-section (mm²) = 184.5 mm² = 184.5 mm²


(per part) number n 1

Filling ratio = shot weight x 100 = 400.0 g x100 = 55 %
