Abstract

In this article we report an attempt to optimize using Z-Cast, the parameters for hot chamber die casting process such as velocity of the melt, temperature of the die and casting temperature to designthe gating system for filter cap using the material ADC 12 based on casting theory. Maintaining all other geometric parameters constant, we have tried to understand the design parameters for two values 1.5mm and 2mm of gate thickness. We have found that the design with 1.5mm gate thickness gives better results in terms of shrinkage compared to that with 2mm thick gate.
