Mould heat balance refers to the dynamic balance between heat input from molten metal and heat output from cooling system in the low-pressure casting process. Unbalanced temperature field is the root cause of most casting deformation, cracking and residual stress problems. Xinfeng Machinery adopts finite element thermal simulation to carry out targeted heat balance optimization for all low-pressure moulds.
Integrated temperature balance is the basic standard of qualified moulds. Excessive overall temperature difference will lead to asynchronous solidification of different parts of the casting, resulting in shrinkage stress and structural deformation. Precise cooling and preheating parameter matching can control the mould temperature field in a stable and balanced state.
Partition cooling is the key to solve special-shaped product defects. For castings with uneven wall thickness, thick-wall areas have slow natural heat dissipation, while thin-wall areas cool rapidly. Independent partition cooling pipeline design can adjust heat dissipation speed separately and realize overall synchronous solidification.
Heat preservation and real-time adjustment ensure long-term stable heat balance. In long-term continuous production, environmental temperature and water temperature changes will cause mould temperature drift. Auxiliary heat preservation structure and adjustable cooling system can offset external interference and maintain consistent forming quality.
