Mechanism and preventive measures for die soldering during Al casting in a ferrous mold

This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the reactions at the ferrous die/molten metal interface in a metal mold casting operation. The literature has shown that several important factors influence reactions at the ferrous die/molten aluminum interface, including temperature of the melt, temperature of the die, alloy chemistry of the melt and die, die surface engineering, topographical features, and coatings. This article discusses …
