Mass finishing for die castings: equipment types compared, media shapes and compositions by alloy, cycle time versus edge break, limitations and where robots take over.
How to fixture castings for automated finishing: locating with draft and datum shift, clamping force, quick change plates, repeatability targets and a design checklist.
How to build an energy cost model per casting: melting, holding, machine, compressed air and water, with a worked table and the reduction measures that pay back fastest.
A time budget breakdown of a die casting cycle, where the biggest wins actually are, thermal balance as the true limit, automation options and a worked before and after example.
Rotary degassing parameters, target density index, ceramic foam filtration, inclusion control, holding furnace practice and how melt quality shows up after polishing.
Die lubricant types, dilution control, spray delivery methods, the defects caused by too much or too little lube, and how to cut spray time from the cycle.
