Additional information
By creating small pockets in the back of a production die at Ryobi Aluminium Castings (UK), strain gauges were applied close to the die cavity to record strain fluctuations caused by the casting process. Correlating these to computer simulations, the surface stress in the die cavity was predicted. By varying the casting cycle it was demonstrated that the thermal fatigue stresses can be reduced leading to extended die life. The modified casting cycle has been implemented across the UK factory to reduce the company’s die maintenance costs and is being evaluated in Japan and the USA: David Watson (Ryobi UK).
