FOUR CAVITIES DIE CASTING DIE DESIGN AND ESTIMATING COST OF 2-WHEELER PISTON

Abstract

I.Pistons are discs within cylinders that move back and forth. It either moves the fluid that enters the cylinder, or it moves the fluid that exits it. The connecting rod acts as a conduit between the expanding gas and the engine's crankshaft, which is where the piston gets its power. Additionally, the piston must dissipate a substantial quantity of heat from the combustion chamber to the cylinder wall. II.The piston of an Internal Combustion Engine is often made of cast iron, aluminium alloy, or cast steel. III.Both forged and cast pistons may be used in the production process. The cast piston weighs less and is very stable in terms of dimensions. Mass-produced engines that aren't prone to detonation are the only ones that have this feature. The forged piston, on the other hand, is heavier and less stable in its dimensions. V.Pro/Engineer software will be used to build a piston for a two-wheeler based on theoretical calculations. Aluminum Alloy is the substance that's been used here. VII. Casting is the method we employ to make pistons. As a result, a die tool for piston manufacture is required. Four chambers in a casting tool die are the subject of our design work. Die design begins with the extraction of the core and cavity. Core and cavity CNC programmes are created simultaneously. a complete die has been created and is now ready to be manufactured. It is necessary to create a piston prototype. There is also a cost estimate for the die and each component. Pro/Engineer software is used for modelling, core-cavity extraction, die design, and CNC programme development.
