PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AU - Paško, Ján TI - Die Casting Plunger Pressing Velocity and Analysis of Its Influence on a Permanent Deformation Value of a Casting Made from an ENAC 47100 Alloy DP - 2010 Dec 1 TA - Manufacturing Technology Journal PG - 23--26 VI - 10 IP - 1 AID - 10.21062/ujep/x.2010/a/1213-2489/MT/10/1/23 IS - 12132489 AB - A die casting plunger velocity inside a filling chamber of a pressure die casting machine is one of the most significant factors of a pressure die casting. This velocity determines the regime of a die cavity filling, thus influencing both inner and surface quality of castings. A selection of a correct velocity of a die cavity filling depends on such factors as an alloy type, a casting complexity, a ratio of a slot area to a casting area, etc. A static pressure test can be used to determine a permanent deformation value by which a casting quality can be considered.
