Practical PQ2 techniques were developed in
the 1970's to help die casters understand the relationship between a specific
die-casting machine and die. Using a mathematical equation, PQ2 graphically
predicts metal flow. More specifically, it predicts metal velocity and cavity
fill time with respect to the flow areas in the die.
If used properly, die casters can use PQ2 to:
-
Determine if a die casting machine and die are compatible for
making quality parts.
-
Design dies using the most effective flow areas.
-
Problem solving for defects by determining gate velocities and
cavity fill time.
The following program is a basic, easy-to-use form of PQ2
get you started using the most powerful technique in existence for assessing
how a die will perform on a particular die casting machine.
