We use different software – SOLIDWORKS2020, NX12.0 and MAGMASOFT – to simulate and solve the problem. We review the design checklist and procedures that can help minimize or prevent the re-occurrence of the problems. Lastly, we design the repairs needed then proceed to repairing die mold.
Once casting trial is conducted and material specification requirements are met during evaluation then die mold will be transferred to the DMM (Die Mold Maintenance) Group and will be in-charge of maintaining the die mold.
Scraps and NG items are managed through recycling it. They are charged to melting chamber at Furnace machine for a 30% level and been mixed to a 70% raw or virgin material. Right after charging and once melted, cleaning is conducted on molten metal through fluxing activity using a flux chemical. The purpose of that activity is to remove impurities present on the molten metal which might cause NG on product if not remove.
