Numerical investigation of Cooling Performance in Classic and New Cooling Channels of Mold Core

During gravity die casting, the mold cooling process obtained via proper die design and a controlled thermal management system are critical factors for optimizing production throughput and casting quality. Metal-casting is one of the most prominent sectors that strengthen the economy and show its development level. The added value produced by the industry is much higher than its production costs. Today, classical manufacturing methods are used for molding. However, current LST-based applications are used for cutting and removing material from a block in the manufacturing of parts as well as the forming process, wherein these applications help melt metal powder layer by layer. In contrast, a combination of multiple methods can be used in conventional manufacturing. This technology is employed in a wide range of industries for the production of various parts and components and for manufacturing processes including implant manufacturing, medical equipment, spacecraft parts, satellite systems, aircraft components, mini jet turbines, compressors and engine components, gas turbine equipment and complex geometry products in addition to the products that require precisely designed parts and devices. LST technology applied to classical manufacturing methods allows a rapid and easy production of even very challenging products, and the production processes that typically take a long time. Moreover, this technology will yield even better results in the future as it is developed further. Experimental studies have demonstrated how the microstructure of the manufactured parts is affected by the molding process. The new methods developed in previous studies have optimum conditions for the production of materials that are suitable for the selective laser sintering (SLS) method. The selective laser melting (SLM) method applied with conventional manufacturing injection on steel samples caused the samples to have higher tensile strength. Past studies have made an experimental investigation of the particle mechanical structure and mechanical properties of the parts produced by LST [1-7]. There are studies that made an effort to improve surface quality. Furthermore, researchers have carried out experiments on metal-casting to increase the wear resistance of mold surfaces during casting ABSTRACT
