Radiator die casting mold is responsible for the critical functions of injecting molten metal, forming, venting, and cooling control, directly affecting fin accuracy, channel flow, wall thickness consistency, and surface quality. We provide a one-stop mold development and delivery service from design review, moldflow analysis, material selection, mold manufacturing, trial verification to mass production support.
Main materials and specifications:
- Common mold steels: H13, NAK80, P20, S136, and high-strength stainless steels, selected according to service life and alloy type.
- Applicable alloys: aluminum alloys, zinc alloys, or magnesium alloys, determined according to radiator structure and performance requirements.
- Cavity count and dimensions: Support single-cavity and multi-cavity designs; cavity number and layout can be optimized according to production capacity and part complexity.
- Cooling design: Built-in or external cooling circuits, insert-type coolers, or cold plate designs to control cavity temperature and shorten cycle times.
Design and engineering recommendations:
- Moldflow analysis: Use CAE moldflow simulation to evaluate pouring paths, filling sequence, fin filling and solidification routes to reduce the risk of porosity and cold shuts.
- Fin and channel design: Optimize fin thickness, spacing, and guide channels to ensure good cast filling and favorable heat dissipation performance.
- Parting lines and venting: Reasonably determine parting line locations and optimize venting design to reduce secondary machining and improve yield.
- Reinforced structure: Design ribs, locating guides, and replaceable cores for thin fins or complex channels to facilitate maintenance.
Trial molding and process optimization:
- First-piece trial: Produce initial die-cast trial parts, inspect fin morphology, wall thickness consistency, filling and cooling performance, and record process data.
- Defect analysis and correction: Adjust the gating system, venting, and temperature control based on defects such as flash, cold shuts, porosity, warpage, or surface defects, and perform localized repairs.
- Process confirmation: Determine injection speed, holding pressure, setting time, mold temperature, and demolding conditions; produce a trial report and process card for mass production replication.
