We at Household Appliance Enterprise are frequently asked for suggestions on how to improve the design of a component. I wanted to share with you some of the more common design tips that we recommend for die casting, which you may find useful. die casting can be done in a variety of metals, and the parts that are produced are extremely diverse. These suggestions, which are listed below, can assist with the design of a variety of components. Remember to factor in the alloy that you intend to use, as well as any surface finishing that you intend to perform after the part has been cast.

Die Casting Variables are those that affect the way the die is cast

a rough draft

The first piece of advice I'd like to give you is about adding draft to a part. A slight taper is applied to the internal and external walls of a part, normal to the parting line, which is referred to as adding draft. In this way, shrinkage is mitigated, and the casting can be removed more easily from the cavity. The addition of draft makes it easier to cast a part. According to the alloy and process choices, recommended draft angles range from 14 degrees to one degree per side. Make sure to inform your technical representative of any critical areas where draft must be kept to a bare minimum. In many cases, it is possible to achieve near-zero draft in specific areas. When designing your component, try to keep draft in mind as much as possible, and use liberal draft in non-critical areas from the beginning.

Fillets and Radii are two terms used to describe the shape of a filter or a radii

Include fillets and radii in your component design as well. Fillets and radii should be as large as possible, especially in non-critical areas. In the event that a fillet or radius is not possible or desirable in a given area, make a note of it on your component drawing. Fillets and radii help to strengthen the component, improve metal flow, and make the application of subsequent finishes easier.

Ribs and Bosses are two terms that come to mind

Ribs and bosses are commonly used in the design of a part to increase the strength of the part. They should be blended with fillets and radii whenever possible in order to avoid sharp corners. Due to the fact that the majority of ribs and bosses have non-critical side surfaces, it is important to apply draft in the appropriate manner.

Pockets are a great way to keep your belongings safe

If the part that is being designed must be lightweight, one option that is commonly used is to incorporate pockets into solid sections of the component. The weight of the part is reduced, as is the cycle time and the cost of the part. Make sure to follow the guidelines for draft and radii once more.

When designing a die cast component, take into consideration all of the advantages that the process has to offer. Consider including features that will cost little or nothing extra. Logos, surface textures, integrated fasteners (rivets, studs), embossed part numbers, and other design elements are examples of this. The 4-slide die casting China has the potential to provide even greater versatility. Your technical representative can assist you with these and other options.
