    Vacuum application studies
    Influence:
    Evacuation capacity
    > Metal at the gate
    Maintenance frequency
    > Downtimes
    Size of overflows / vacuum channels
    > Reduce the amount of metal recycling
    Projected area
    > Locking force of the die casting machine

    To start the vacuum channel lay out:

    Fondarex is recommending rather small overflow volume for the following reasons:
    − Less alloy passing the die cavity, less die wear - more parts per die, die temperature
    control !
    − Less alloy recycling
    − The «switch over» point from velocity to pressure
    is easier to find
    − The dynamics of the DCM work better
    − Therefore better micro structure of the die cast part
    − The projected area can be kept lower
    − Therefore less flash
    − Less flash means better vacuum, better productivity, better results, geometricaly prezise
    parts!
    − If a modification is necessary, it is much easier to open a small overflow than to weld a
    large one

    The vacuum channel basics:

    - Use your DC knowledge


    (think of extraction!)
    - Use new machining
    technologies
    - Use both die sides
    - Do not use too much of
    parting line area Force during and after solidification
    - Machine nice surfaces
    - Use radiuses
    - Use mobile and fixed die
    side
