Abstract [en]

The purpose of the thesis work given is to gain a better understanding of the degating process in high-pressure die casting components, as well as the effectiveness of the thermo-mechanical vibration technique for detaching cast components from the gating system. In addition, to evaluate and establish the most appropriate degating procedure in order to reduce labor, material costs, and processing time.In recent days, many investigators have been looking at an automated technique that can help optimize and streamline the casting process. VOLVO CE is also exploring on ways to assess and establish the most acceptable degating process in order to optimize cost towards labor, material expense, and processing time. To begin with, VOLVO CE wants to develop the full Finite Element Method (FEM) based approach prior to implementationThis thesis consists of a substantial amount of numerical work, demonstrating the effectiveness of thermo-mechanical vibration technique for degating the casting high-pressure die casting component. The dynamic behavior of the component was studied in ANSYS WB where the impact of thermal loading has been taken into consideration.The component studied in this thesis is a transmission component (oil distributor) from a Volvo construction equipment, VOLVO group. It is cast in Aluminum alloy with the material composition AlSi13Fe. A oil distributor is a component which is bolted on the back side (place where electric motor is connected to the casing through shaft) of the transmission casing.
