# Industrial Specification: Casting Mold Thermal Management Plate

## 1. Technical Definition
Temperature-regulating plate for casting molds

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **20-350°C with thermal gradient ≤15°C/cm across plate surface**. Failure boundary: **Thermal stress exceeds yield strength of H13 tool steel (1650 MPa at 350°C) or thermal cycling &gt;10⁴ cycles at ΔT&gt;200°C**, Mechanism: **Thermal fatigue cracking due to cyclic plastic strain accumulation from repeated heating/cooling cycles, following Coffin-Manson relationship: ε_pl = C_f * N_f^(-β) where C_f=0.5, β=0.6 for H13 steel**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Heat Sterilization F0 Lethality Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_0 = \int_{0}^{t} 10^{(T-121.1)/z} dt$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Validates microbial reduction integrity for aseptic packaging.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| T | Process Temp (°C) | **$T \in [20-350°C]$ °C** (Per `temperature_range`) |
| t | Exposure Time (min) | Engineering Constant |
| z | Z-value | **10 °C** (Standard for *C. botulinum*) |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Coolant flow reduction below 2.5 m/s due to pump failure or clogged channels | 8 | Localized hot spot formation exceeding 400°C, causing austenitization and loss of temper in H13 steel | Dual redundant cooling circuits with independent pumps and real-time thermal imaging with automatic mold ejection at 380°C |
| Non-uniform clamping force distribution exceeding 25 MPa variance across mounting points | 8 | Plate warpage &gt;0.5 mm causing poor thermal contact with mold, reducing heat transfer coefficient from 2500 to &lt;800 W/m²·K | Hydraulic equalization system with pressure transducers at each mounting point and automatic force redistribution |

### Q: What are the benefits of using a thermal management plate in casting molds?
**A**: Thermal management plates maintain consistent mold temperatures, reducing casting defects like shrinkage porosity and improving dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and production cycle times in foundry operations.

### Q: How do I choose between copper alloy C18150 and stainless steel 316L for my thermal plate?
**A**: Copper alloy C18150 offers superior thermal conductivity (approx. 320 W/m·K) for rapid heat transfer, while stainless steel 316L provides better corrosion resistance in harsh foundry environments. Choose based on your cooling rate needs and operating conditions.

### Q: What maintenance is required for casting mold thermal plates?
**A**: Regular inspection for surface flatness, cleaning of fluid channels to prevent clogging, and checking for leaks at port connections. Proper maintenance ensures consistent thermal performance and extends plate lifespan in foundry applications.
