Abstract

In high-pressure die casting component, shrinkage defects plays a major role in leakage of fluid from components; therefore, it becomes necessary to predict the exact location of the shrinkage defect to reduce its intensity to an acceptable level. Nowadays, a localized squeezing process is one of the popular ways of reducing the shrinkage defect in high-pressure die casting components. Squeeze pins can be used to compensate for shrinkage defects in these components. The main reason for the formation of shrinkage porosity at the critical location of a given component is large and poorly fed hot spot. In this paper, shrinkage defects are reduced from level III to level I by determining optimum values of squeeze pin parameters by DOE and flow simulation, obtained results are implemented in order to test and verify effectiveness of the method. An excellent agreement is indicated for the simulation result and the experimental results.
