Shot tips are critical tooling components for successful cold chamber die casting. Evergreen has created a webinar that will address the various in-service requirements of shot tips, materials commonly used, the variety of tip designs available, casting situations where the various tip designs might be selected, and typical shot tip failure modes. In addition, the interaction between shot tips and shot sleeves (for example, tip lubes, tip cooling, and ring design) will be discussed as appropriate. This webinar covers the following topics:
- Functions and requirements of shot tips
- Common shot tip materials and reasons why
- Overview of shot tip designs and reasons for selection
- Common shot tip failure modes and underlying reasons for failure
