| Q 1 | What are the advantages of NGK Chill-Vent? |
|---|---|
| A 1 | There are 3 main advantages:
|
| Q 2 | Why is it possible to enlarge the cross section? |
|---|---|
| A 2 | NGK Chill-Vent utilizes Beryllium Copper alloy (BeA-MC9) which has 5 times the thermal conductivity of tool steel. This means that NGK Chill-Vent has 5 times the cooling rate. |
| Q 3 | Why are aluminum/vent reactions eliminated? |
|---|---|
| A 3 | The main reason is adoption of Beryllium Copper alloy. Aluminum is rapidly cooled and solidified by NGK Chill-Vent before reactions can take place. |
| Q 4 | How compact is the design? |
|---|---|
| A 4 | NGK Chill-Vent is only half the size of steel designs needed under the same die casting conditions according to in-house comparisons. |
| Q 5 | What is the difference between NGK Chill-Vent and C-block? |
|---|---|
| A 5 | NGK Chill-Vent -Be-Cu chill-vent is made to order per customer's specification. C-block -NGK's U.S. patented standard chill-vent is ready-made. |
| Q 6 | Are there any important points for use ? |
|---|---|
| A 6 | Be sure to pass coolant through the inside. |
| Q 7 | Is there any damage from aluminum erosion? |
|---|---|
| A 7 | In general there should be no erosion problem because Chill-Vent is mounted away from the aluminum intake. |
| Q 8 | How durable is NGK Chill-Vent? |
|---|---|
| A 8 | NGK Chill-Vents have now been used to mass produce over 100,000 shots without problems, Beryllium Copper alloy has superior hardness and strength compared with other copper alloys. |
| Q 9 | Is there any mechanical damage due to embedded aluminum fragments? |
|---|---|
| A 9 | If aluminum fragments remain inside the Chill-Vent, it may lead to mechanical damage. An air-blowing system should be used to reduce problems. |
| Q 10 | What is the role of Guide Frame for C-block? |
|---|---|
| A 10 | Guide Frame is optionally available to prevent damage, for example, from being bumped or hit with a hammer. |
| Q 11 | Is Guide Frame always necessary? |
|---|---|
| A 11 | No, it is only required in rare cases. Many users adopt NGK Chill-Vent for 250T-2500T D/C machine without the Guide Frame. |
| Q 12 | What are other technologies related to NGK Chill-Vent? |
|---|---|
| A 12 | NGK offers the following technologies:
