The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Advanced Approach to Process Control 2. This final webinar brings it all together. It covers planning a trial for both parameters that are changed and variables that are measured. It goes through a DoE approach to show the power of the […]
The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Defects in Die Casting: Surface Defects and Other Problems. This second course covers defects caused by such things as venting problems, surface defects such as “white surface” and die spray marking. It then goes into the two main types of cracking, […]
The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Analytical Techniques to Assess Melt and Cast Quality, Alternative Processes. This course presents the basics of understanding aluminum alloy chemistry of the alloys used in high pressure aluminum diecasting (HPDC), solidification and microstructures, the influence of impurities and subsequent melt treatment, […]
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 – 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 – 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 – Basic Approach to Process Control. This webinar covers the traditional methods of controlling the process and what feedback you use to control it. It then expands on this and shows the usefulness of some simple math terms. It allows the company […]
The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Product Design for Die Casting-Part 1: Introduction. This initial webinar in the series will provide an introduction and overview of the die casting process. For information on purchasing a downloadable copy of this webinar in its entirety, please visit: diecasting.org/store/detail.aspx?id=WEB327 NADCA […]
The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Die Preparation Before Heat Treat. Die cast dies are getting larger, more complex and the heat treat processes being specified have increased stresses on the dies all resulting in more of a chance for the dies to crack. This course discusses […]
The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Coatings for Die Castings: Conventional Coating Processes – presented by Stephen Midson of The Midson Group. 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 […]
