INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Thermal Plate Body

Thermal Plate Body is the primary structural component of casting mold thermal management systems, designed to regulate temperature distribution during metal casting processes.

Component Specifications

Definition
The Thermal Plate Body serves as the foundational element in casting mold thermal management plates, engineered to maintain precise temperature gradients across mold surfaces. This component integrates internal fluid channels or heating elements to control thermal energy transfer, ensuring uniform solidification rates in molten metals. Its geometric configuration optimizes heat dissipation or retention based on casting requirements, directly impacting metallurgical properties and production cycle times.
Working Principle
Operates through conductive heat transfer between the mold interface and integrated thermal regulation systems. The body distributes thermal energy via engineered internal pathways (channels or embedded elements), maintaining predetermined temperature profiles that prevent thermal stresses, reduce porosity, and control solidification kinetics in cast components.
Materials
High-conductivity copper alloys (C18200, C11000), aluminum alloys (6061-T6), or tool steels (H13) with corrosion-resistant coatings. Material selection depends on thermal conductivity requirements (200-400 W/m·K), operating temperatures (150-500°C), and mechanical strength needs.
Technical Parameters
  • Pressure Rating ≤30 bar (fluid channels)
  • Surface Flatness ≤0.05 mm/m²
  • Thermal Conductivity ≥250 W/m·K
  • Dimensional Tolerance ±0.1 mm
  • Operating Temperature Range -50°C to 450°C
Standards
ISO 9001, DIN 8580, ASTM B152
