This book details the governing laws of the fluid dynamics that have an effect on die cast die and die cast process design. MATLAB(R) and Visual Basic(R) code are listed in for every stage of product, die and die cast process design, providing a better understanding of die and process design and simplifying calculations of the die cast die as well as the die cast process. Coverage examines the advantages and limitations of the die cast process and the implications product design has on the quality of the die cast part. It also looks at how die cast die and process design can affect the physical properties of the casting and the calculations die cast die and process designers have to do. In addition, the book details how to choose the die cast machine size and the proper gate size as well as how to properly design gas ventilation systems, identify an ideal fill time, and calculate fast and slow shot velocity.
