The cooling technique in permanent molds
The cooling technique also presents problems during the drilling of the passages.This method allows drilled cooling passages to be placed precisely in the mold; […]
What are Air-Cooled Permanent Molds?
Air-cooling represents one of the simplest methods of permanent mold cooling. However, this method has limited cooling capabilities because the heat transfer from the mold to the air often isn’t fast enough for the production levels required by most foundries. […]
What are Water-Cooled Permanent Molds?
A variety of different designs for water-cooled permanent molds exist each with its own advantages and disadvantages. […]
