Description
This project seeks to explore a patent and introduce an innovative technological solution for designing and producing molds for high-pressure aluminum casting. It primarily focuses on enhancing the casting process through several key innovations.
One significant innovation involves the redesign of the casting system. This new approach reduces the material input, resulting in a cleaner melt with minimal slag and oxide compound impurities. This cleaner melt ensures a higher quality products.
Another critical component of this innovation is the implementation of an efficient scraper that incorporates superior air supply through an external outlet channel. This feature captures molten oxides during the casting process, keeping the melt clean. The designed casting system can efficiently feed the foundations and is adaptable to standard equipment.
Additionally, a novel approach involves enabling direct punching during the mold opening of the casting machine. This innovation simplifies and accelerates the casting process. It also allows for the creation of molds with complex, deep inner ribs, reducing the need for labor-intensive and potentially hazardous manual work. The expected outcomes of this project are substantial. They include a notable reduction in wasted materials and associated CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the ability to design complex elements for aluminum die-casting molds will lead to a decrease in undesired air inclusions.
Leading this project is Laki 131 Ltd., a company with specialization in high-pressure casting of aluminum and royal alloys. The project''s collaborating partners include Ruvi Place Ltd. and the Technical University of Gabrovo. Ruvi Place Ltd., a micro-enterprise located in Lovech, will conduct the initial research and development activities. Meanwhile, representatives from the Technical University will validate the initial research and development results and oversee the dissemination of subsequent findings.
