Performal® tool inserts can be used to solve most of the thermal related issues in light alloy die casting molds.
Performal® ensures porosity reduction, cycle time reduction and long life time on critical tool inserts.
in aluminum die casting
The thermal regulation of cores that are usually not reached by cooling channels helps in preventing the formation of gas porosity in the casted parts.
The optimal cooling reduces the need of lubricants, enabling also lower draft angles.
Controlled cooling produces a tighter molecular structure thus reducing casting leaks and increasing tensile/yeld strenghts.
in aluminum die casting
Cores with conformal cooling can withstand more shots than traditional parts because of optimal termal regulation. Performal® tool inserts prevent degradation of the part microstructure from being exposed to extreme temperature of molten aluminum.
