A study on the defects of die casting mold for air-motor housings and on problem-solving measures

에어모터 하우징 양산용 다이캐스팅 금형의 불량과 대책에 관한 연구

HI-WORTH T-32, a non-powered plasma cutter, is a portable cutter that utilizes compressor-plasma inverter. With a special air-pressure piston, the cutter is semiautomatic. When they were produced by die casting dies, the bodies or housings of the cutter have defects about 100 percent of defect rate due to blisters and thermal deformation. Therefore, they are produced by mechanical machining, which leads to a hike in material and machining costs and to the loss of productivity. And companies are left with insignificant profit margins. Besides mechanical machining, this study proposes to modify defective mold and cut down defective rate and boost productivity.
