An Alternative Die Coating Method on Low Pressure Die Casting Mould by Thermal Spraying

In the world, automobile rim production is carried out in a repeatable quality with low pressure die casting process. Traditional die coatings used to separate molds on casting mold surfaces cause significant losses in production due to their weak strength. The applicability of an alternative mold coating application with thermal sprayings has been examined in this study. MgO-ZrO₂ based ceramic thermal barrier coatings are deposited on the mold surfaces by flexicord spray method.
