Die-casting is a metal casting process, wherein the molten metal is injected at very high pressure to produce parts with good dimensional accuracy. To cast the parts at high pressure, a die casting machine is used. This application finds uses is many areas such as Automobile, Aviation, Telecommunication, hydraulics & pneumatics parts, electrical and so on. A few examples to mention are Two-wheeler engine crank cases, cover kick starters, cylinder head, cylinder barrel, four-wheeler Alloy wheels, 2 wheeler front and rear wheel hub, 2-wheeler carburettor, earth moving equipment hydraulic valves, 4 wheeler air brake parts, to name a few.

The die-cast die & mould design is an iterative process that determines the contour of die cast parts and affect its properties. Following a systematic design process will always lead to better outcomes. This program shall cover how to design a die-cast part suitable for high pressure die-casting, wherein guidelines are given for ensuring trouble free casting production of parts.

Keeping this in mind, IMTMA is organizing a 5 day training programme to impart training on Diecast (PDC) parts die design.

This programme will be conducted by Mr Padmanarayanan, a technology professional with over 5 decades of high quality experience in the areas of High pressure die-casting, gravity diecasting, Low pressure diecasting, SMED, Setting up tool rooms, productivity improvement and rejection reduction. During his professional career, he was associated with several companies such as Sundaram Clayton, Semco Electric, Columbia Wheel manufacturing, Eqic Dies and moulds, Rapsri Engineering Industries, Dietech India, AR Die Casts, Hyderabad Engineering Industries, and Endurance Technologies.

He possesses over 60 certifications in areas such as Six sigma, Cost of quality, TQM tools, Understanding benchmarking methods, Time management, Quality management and several other areas.
