Formed Wire Mesh Funnel Screen Solution for Low-Pressure Die Casting
Low-pressure die casting, also referred to as LPDC, is the process in which a product die gets filled with a non-ferrous alloy. A furnace is used to create a small amount of pressure, projecting the molten alloy into the die.
By using low-pressure, the molten alloy gets evenly distributed. With that, the system gets pressurized until the alloy returns to a solid-state.
Benefits of Using Formed Wire Mesh Funnel Screen for Low-Pressure Die Casting
> Contamination Filtration
At the beginning of the casting process, the alloy starts as raw, solid material. This raw material often has. contaminants that can cause faults within the end-product. The wire mesh funnel screens can have mesh openings and heat-resistance. This makes them an ideal solution for casting filtration. By filtering out these contaminants during the casting process, product failure is reduced.
> Air Inclusion
As with most free-flowing material, air pockets sometimes form within the material. If these air pockets make their way into the mold and solidify, the end-product will have weak areas. This often results in faulty products. In low-pressure casting, woven wire mesh acts as a diffuser, eliminating these air pockets. This allows for an even distribution of material throughout the entire mold.
> Flow Rate
The funnel screens used in the low-pressure die casting equipment can be made from various materials. The biggest drawback associated with not using woven wire mesh is that a lot of funnel screens consist of materials with a flat form factor. The flat profile of these screens increases the amount of surface area that the melt must maneuver around. Having said that, the round wires used to construct woven wire mesh combats this issue. This is because the use of round wires minimizes the amount of surface area that prevents melt flow.
