1. The document studies the effect of die temperature on product quality in the high-pressure die casting (HPDC) process for an A380 alloy using numerical simulation.
2. Experiments and simulations were conducted using ProCAST software to model filling and solidification of a complex automotive ladder frame part.
3. The results show that a die temperature of 200°C produced the best quality parts with minimal defects, while lower temperatures below 200°C were more likely to result in cold shot defects and air porosities.
