Hot Tearing in Gigacastings

Tesla’s Gigacasting for the Model Y has revolutionized the industry. However, with larger castings, hot tearing becomes a significant challenge. Hot tearing is common in casting alloys like AlCu5, with their large solidification range. For Gigacastings, several factors amplify this problem. The longer flow lengths mean the melt front cools significantly, making recombination difficult. Additionally, residues from the die-spraying process accumulate on the surface, further hindering recombination.

Rheocasting slurries behave differently…

Rheocasting slurries behave differently, offering advantages in high pressure die casting dies. Unlike traditional HPDC, where liquid metal quickly fills every corner, semi-solid slurry tends to flow straight, potentially ignoring perpendicular features initially and leading to porosity or defects if air gets trapped. The 2022 NADCA paper by Hartlieb, Jansson, Tawil, and Bergeron explains that the laminar flow of Rheocasting pushes air out of the cavity without entrapping it, filling even thin and tall ribs easily. For more insights, refer to their detailed study on Rheocasting for Rivian’s production.
