  • A Comparison of Thixocasting and Rheocasting

    A Comparison of Thixocasting and Rheocasting

    A Comparison of Thixocasting and Rheocasting Stephen P. Midson The Midson Group, Inc. Denver, Colorado USA Andrew Jackson Arthur Jackson & Co., Ltd. Brighouse UK Abstract The first semi-solid casting process to be commercialized was thixocasting, where a pre-cast billet is re-heated to the semi-solid solid casting temperature. Advantages of thixocasting include the production of high quality components, while the main disadvantage is the higher cost associated with the production of the pre-cast billets. Commercial pressures have driven casters to examine a different approach to semi-solid casting, where the semi-solid slurry is generated directly from the liquid adjacent to a die casting machine. These processes are collectively referred to as rheocasting, and there are currently at least 15 rheocasting processes either in commercial production or under development around the world. This paper will describe technical aspects of both thixocasting and rheocasting, comparing the procedures used to generate the globular, semi-solid slurry. Two rheocasting processes will be examined in detail, one involved in the production of high integrity properties, while the other is focusing on reducing the porosity content of conventional die castings. Key Words Semi-solid casting, thixocasting, rheocasting, aluminum alloys 22 / 1 Introduction Semi-solid casting is a modified die casting process that reduces or eliminates the porosity present in most die castings [1] . Rather than using liquid metal as the feed material, semi-solid processing uses a higher viscosity feed material that is partially solid and partially liquid. The high viscosity of the semi-solid metal, along with the use of controlled die filling conditions, ensures that the semi-solid metal fills the die in a non-turbulent manner so that harmful gas porosity can be essentially eliminated.

  • Caliper Gauge

    Caliper Gauge

    Caliper Gauge As to internal caliper gauge IM-880 series, the distance between contact points facing outside is firstly set at standard dimension with ring gauge or micrometer. Then, it is measured by inserting contact point into internal dimension part to be measured after its outer dial of which moves together with rotated bezel is set at “0”. The displacement of indicator from “0” point of outer dial is to be measured at that time. The value adding to the read displacement to standard dimension or deducting it from standard dimension is the dimension of internal diameter. This series attaches spare contact point which cam set accurate dimension corresponding to size of internal dimension. External caliper gauge is opposite, namely reading the value by holding work piece with 2 contact points facing outside. Internal Dial Caliper Gauge • These gauges are designed for use in measuring deep internal diameter of bores of castings etc, and for internal reading in fabrications. Clearance has been provided for use in recessed bores. The convenient retraction lever allows one-hand operation.

With this method, you do not have to reset the system to zero after turning it off and then turning it on. The position information recorded on the scale is read every time. The following three types of absolute encoders are available: electrostatic capacitance model, electromagnetic induction model and model combining the electrostatic capacitance and optical methods. These encoders are widely used in a variety of measuring instruments as the length measuring system that can generate highly reliable measurement data. Advantages: 1. No count error occurs even if you move the slider or spindle extremely rapidly. 2. You do not have to reset the system to zero when turning on the system after turning it off*1.

  • Introduction and Classification of Forging Processes

    Introduction and Classification of Forging Processes

    NPTEL - Mechanical Engineering - Forming Introduction and classification of forging processes 1.1 Introduction: Bulk deformation processes involve shaping of materials to finished products which have small surface area to thickness or surface area to volume ratio. Sheet metal forming produces parts having large surface area to thickness ratio. In sheet metal forming thickness variations are not desirable. Examples for sheet metal forming are: beverage cans, automobile body etc. Bulk forming processes may be primary processes such as rolling of ingot to blooms or billets, in which the cast metal is formed into semi-finished raw material. In secondary forming, the raw materials, such as blooms, billets are converted into finished parts such as gears, wheels, spanners etc. Rolling, forging, extrusion and drawing are bulk forming processes. The present module describes the salient aspects of forging process. 1.2 Forging: In ancient times, people employed forging for making coins, jewelry, weapons, Forging is a deformation processing of materials through compressive stress. It is carried out either hot or cold. Hot forging is done at temperatures above recrystallization temperatures, typically 0.6 Tm, or above, where Tm is melting temperature. Warm forging is done in the temperature range: 0.3 Tm to 0.5 Tm. Cold forging has advantages such as good surface finish, high strength and greater accuracy. Hot forging requires lower loads, because flow stress gets reduced at higher temperatures. Strain rates in hot working may be high – 0.5 to 500 s-1. Strains in hot forging are also high – true strains of 2 to 4. Are common. Typical applications of forging include bolts, disks, gears, turbine disk, crank shaft, connecting rod, valve bodies, small components for hydraulic circuits etc.
  • CHEMICAL GAUGE GUARDS Series

    CHEMICAL GAUGE GUARDS Series

    CHEMICAL GAUGE GUARDS Series GGS In the following text, the word “Instrument” refers to gauges, transducers, and sensors, used in conjunction with the gauge guard INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS A. IMPORTANT – BEFORE INSTALLING Gauge guards will protect gauges and sensors from contact with chemicals, when properly installed and used within the recommended ranges of pressure, temperature, and chemical compatibility. The ultimate determination of material compatibility is previous successful use in the same application. Call our Technical Support for information about your application. VISUAL IDENTIFICATION OF MATERIAL BODY MATERIAL COLOR “PV” Dark Gray (Geon®) (PVC) (Polyvinylchloride) “GPP” Opaque (20% Glass-Filled Polypropylene) White “PF” Translucent (Kynar®) (PVDF) (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) White “CP” (Corzan CPVC) Light Gray Caution: Plastic materials degrade in ultraviolet (UV) light or sunlight. Caution: Instruments filled and installed at Plast-O-Matic are tested to the manufacturer's specified accuracy. Instrument accuracy is generally reduced by the guard, especially for low pressure range gauges. Caution: Do not apply pressure unless an instrument is installed. Release process pressure before removing the instrument from the guard. B. MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING Series GGS Gauge Guards are rated for the full pressure range of the instrument supplied when the instrument is factory installed. When supplied without an instrument, they are rated according to the pressure/temperature de-rating chart printed in the catalog also available at: www.plastomatic.com/ggscatalog.pdf. C. FILLING & INSTRUMENT INSTALLATION Fill Liquid – Factory filled instruments are filled with an FDA approved Mineral Oil. Water can be used for room temperature applications. Guards that have an EPDM diaphragm should be filled with an EPDM compatible liquid such as Glycerin.
