Die-casting Applications

Gravity and Low Pressure Die-Casting or Vacuum Casting

KIC Sintered Vents are inserted into molding dies to assure sound castings. They allow the escape of gas and prevent the passage of casting material.

KIC Sintered Vents with a pore diameter of 0.4mm for larger, low-pressure gravity die-cast parts and 0.5mm diameter for smaller parts. For Low pressure die-cast or vacuum casting parts, pore diameters with a range between 0.4mm - 0.3mm work best and are commonly used for venting systems in permanent mold casting of aluminum alloys.

With a perforation volumes of 5-30 times higher than conventional vents, these small vents can do a big job when it comes to reducing the number of bad or defective products relating directly to the casting process.
Productivity is also improved as KIC Vents are fast and easy to replace, making easy cleaning of the mold dies to speed up production.

The use of KIC Sintered Vents helps to assure quality castings, which will be free from defects associated with trapped air or gases in the mold, creating "mis-runs" and "cold shuts."

Some applications for KIC Sintered Vents in die-casting include major auto-makers, for their water pumps, manifolds, carburetors, oil pumps, starter clutches, alternator housings, door locks, wheels (rims), and more.
