The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Engineering Dies: Thermal Design – Why Bother. This covers WHY the thermal design is important. It introduces the simple, but important variables such as surface area and the amount of heat that needs to be controlled. It has been clearly shown […]
The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Heat Treatment of Steel. This course describes the microstructure of steel and the various heat treatment steps such as austenitizing, quenching, and tempering. For information on purchasing a downloadable copy of this webinar in its entirety, please visit: http://www.diecasting.org/store/detail.aspx?id=WEB312 NADCA Video […]
The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Engineering Die Casting Dies: Dimensional Repeatability. This looks at defining what the customer wants and gives a standard approach to what the process can normally achieve, with such things as dimensional tolerances and flatness. It covers defining what your plant can […]
The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Basic Hydraulics Boot Camp: What the Heck is “Hydraulics”. This course includes a non-technical, easy to understand description of “hydraulics.” We’ll build a hydraulic cylinder, introduce several schematic symbols, and discuss the operation of a typical hydraulic circuit. Without going into […]
The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Process Control: Introduction to Process Control. The first part of this series will provide a brief introduction to process control techniques. The need for the application of statistical techniques to controlling variation in the die casting process will be emphasized. For […]
The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Coatings for Die Castings: Conventional Coating Processes. Conventional coatings (nitriding, carbonitriding) have been used for some time on die casting dies. This introductory webinar will review these processes, and describe die failure mechanisms (soldering, erosion) they are used to address. For […]

The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Electro-Hydraulics: Open-loop versus Closed-Loop. This part presents the differences between electro-hydraulic open-loop and closed-loop systems. This part also covers various concepts for controlling load, speed and position of a hydraulic actuator. For information on purchasing a downloadable copy of this webinar […]
The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Basic Operator Training: How it Works – The Shot End. The operator will learn the basic components on a die casting machine shot end, and the function of these components. Potential failures of the shot end will also be covered. For […]
