AI Technical Summary
The casting of large automotive brake calipers is difficult. Inappropriate mold design can lead to substandard product quality, especially in the cylinder section where shrinkage defects are prone to occur. Furthermore, traditional casting methods can easily cause molten iron to wash away sand, affecting the appearance quality of the product.
Design a casting mold for large automotive brake calipers. Use a filter screen to filter molten iron and control the order in which the molten iron enters the product. Combine this with a bottom-fill water injection method and a reasonable arrangement of risers to eliminate shrinkage defects, reduce molten iron slag washing, and improve product quality.
It effectively eliminates internal shrinkage defects in products, ensuring product appearance quality and overall performance, and improving mold utilization efficiency and product reliability.
