A Tool for Predicting the Effect of the Plunger Motion Profile on the Static Properties of Aluminium High Pressure Die Cast Components

The availability of tools for predicting quality in high pressure die casting is a challenging issue since a large amount of defects is detected in components with a consequent worsening of the mechanical behavior. In this paper, a tool for predicting the effect of the plunger motion on the properti...
