A frequently misunderstood technology, this reference emphasizes that high pressure die casting is a predictable and highly effective method to transform raw material to near net shape. Written in a reader-friendly and logical format, this text provides a broad study of each procedure in the die casting process and clearly outlines the basic science and principles of this method. Clearly presented, this guide is written by an experienced authority in quality and productivity enhancement, tooling design, metal feed system analysis, temperature management, and environmental regulation. In 15 generously illustrated chapters, this reference studies, among other subjects, the evolution and latest developments in die casting machines.extensively explains methods for strategic temperature management.showcases the interrelationship between product design and processing for improved quality and productivity in high pressure die casting operations.includes strategies to minimize costs in die casting facilities.presents the criteria (or premium grade die materials.
