DruckgussDie Casting
Case Study
Coupling
Initial Situation
- die casting
- tight tolerance press fit (over temperature range)
- high quantities
- strength requirements
New solution approach
- sample parts manufactured in zinc and thermoplastic material in same tool load testing (thermoplastic is favoured solution)
- press fit component as insert
- high performance thermoplastic PPA 50% GF
Client advantages
- cost reduction (part and tooling costs)
- weight reduction
- flexible delivery
- corrosion-resistant
