NADCA 207-2018 Special Steels Test Method for High Pressure Casting

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of NADCA #207-2018 testing. In the construction of a mold or an equipment to be used in the casting industry, the factors that affect the service life the most are the building material, the heat treatment it is subjected to and the molding process.

It is therefore of paramount importance to define guidelines to ensure a satisfactory quality of the supplied steel and associated heat treatments.

Among the most authoritative sources on the subject detailed in the last 30 years, the special NADCA #207-2018 "Special Quality Die Steel and Heat Treatment Acceptance Criteria for Casting Dies" published by the North American Foundry Association (NADCA) definitely stands out.

This specification is of particular importance and relevance for the precise definition of acceptance criteria for steels and heat treatments used in the manufacture of die casting molds.

All the requirements that must be met are described in detail, such as:

  • Chemical composition;
  • Hardness;
  • Micro purity and bandosity levels;
  • Microstructure in Ricotta and Recovered conditions;
  • Satiety.

This method requires molten metal to be injected into a mold cavity at a very high speed. The pressure applied to move the molten casting metal flow into even the narrowest cross-section is essential for precision shape reproduction, one of the special benefits of high pressure casting.
