Abstract: ABSTRACT Title : Multi-Plate Die for Casting Automotive Components and the Process of Manufacturing Therefrom The multi-plate die (100) for casting automotive components comprises of a fixed plate hub (10), a moving plate hub (30), and a floating plate hub (20), a plurality of vacuum chill vents (50), plurality of legs (L) and a hydraulic cutter assembly (40). The fixed plate hub (10) is configured to comprise of a fixed plate (11F), sprue bush (1), sprue bush plug (2) and guide pillar (P); and said fixed plate (11F) is configured to have a pair of two circular openings seamlessly merging with each other and thereby forming a thorough opening (H) in the form of numeric “8” shape profile. The floating plate hub (20) is configured to house a floating housing (20F) with an insert plate (20L), a cone punch (20P), a hydraulic cutter assembly (40) and a guide bush (20G). The moving plate hub (30) and the floating plate hub (20) are mounted with fixed plate hub (10) in such a way that said moving plate hub (30) and the floating plate hub (20) slidably move along the guide pillar (P) with respect to the fixed plate hub (10). The intelligent construction of the uniquely profiled three plate die (100) provides the user friendly option for selecting the feeding system (central feeding or offset feeding), improves aluminium alloy flow dynamics and facilitates uniform distribution of molten alloy eliminating the risk of defects associated with uneven filling, and eliminates the air entrapment in the mould cavity with the help of strategically positioned vents.
