1.Introduction
Thetypical,traditionaldie-castingprocessincludeshigh-pressurefilling,cooling,solidificationandejectionstages.Thecoolingstageisofgreatimportancebecauseitsignificantlyaffectsboththeproductivityandthequalityofthedie-castpart.Itiswellknownthatabout80%ofthecycletimeofdie-castingisspentincoolingthehotmeltsufficientlysothatthecastpartcanbeejectedwithoutwarp.Thedesignofasuccessfuldiecanbeconsiderablyaffectedbyperfectfilling,whichreducesthecoolingtime,reduceswarpandinturnincreasesthequalityofthepart.Themainaimofthecoolingprocessistomaintainauniformtemperatureofthefillingandcoolingcycle.Accordingly,thereareatleasttwoimportantconceptsforthedesignerwhenconsideringthecoolingsystemandinestablishingcoolingprocessingconditions:

Generallyspeaking,traditionaldiedesignstilldependsonexperience,duetothelackofanalyticabilityinmouldflowandheattransfer,sothedesignerisunabletoevaluateandhandlethedeformationresultingfrommaterialandthermalexpansionandshrinkageofthedie.Theparametersofdifferentcoolingsystemscancauselargetemperaturegradients,anddifferentdeformations.
AlthoughFEMsoftwareiscapableofanalysingthefillingflowandcoolingconditionsofpressure-injectedmetalandtheheatstress,heatstrainandtemperaturedistributionconditionsofadie-castingdieundervariouscoolingsystems,theestablishmentofananalyticmodelisverydifficult,especiallyfor3Dfree-formgeometry.Besidesunderstandingtherequirementsofmulti-cavitydies,andthemetalflowandsolidificationprocess,thedesignershouldbefullyacquaintantedwiththebasicfiniteelementsoftware.Integrationcanbeachievedandcansavealotofmoneyandtimeonlyifacompleteunderstandingoftheprocessofdiemanufacturingisavailableandeliminatetheannoyancecausedbymovingofpersonnel.
