| description | The work of this report provides a cost-based assessment and characterization of the
die casting for manufacturing. This process has potential to be a low-cost and efficient
manufacturing technology. Die casting can produce more complex shapes with closer
tolerances, thinner walls and lower manufacturing costs. In order to better understand
the cost effectiveness of the die casting process and the economic consequences on
die casting process, this report was generated. A manufacturing process which is
based on LCECA and PBCM was developed. By using this method the cost
assessment for a die casting process was conducted. It can be seen that the
manufacturing cost of a die casting is higher or lower than that of other manufacturing
processes. Cycle time, number of cavities, tool life and material scrap rate were
identified for the die casting process. Their effects on the total unit cost were analyzed
through real project cases. The results show that the die casting process which is
competitive manufacturing process has a cost reduction potential. This report
summarizes the studying results. |
