Inspection Equipment Used in the Foundry & Die Cast Process

The importance of  testing die cast products for defects is critical.  Small insignificant defects can progress to fatigue or stress related fractures which can result in catastrophic failure in parts used in the automotive or aviation industries.  Non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection equipment can provide a quick and efficient method to locate failure before they happen. 

Common types of defects that can occur in die casting include porosity, cavities, tearing, air locks and inclusions.  Porosity occurs when tiny bubbles of gas get trapped in the molten metal as it cools.  These bubbles are distributed within the metal and can weaken the metal.   Oxide and silicates are produced in the refining process, which contribute to the inclusions. Tearing or "hot cracking" occur when the metal cools and as it contracts is restrained by the mold or parts of the cast that have already cooled.  Air locks happen when air is trapped as the molten metal is ladeled into the mold.  Inclusions can occur due to impurities in the base metal. These air locks normally appear just beneath the surface of the cast.  All of these defects contribute to a poor die cast.

X-ray machines, spectrometers and coordinate measuring machines (CMM) can find these defects and improve the quality of production.  NDT is a quick, efficient and because it is non-destructive a very cost effective method of testing the product.
