Die castings: cavity porosity, edges and threads

Porosity in cavities and on machined surfaces, edge integrity, holes and threads on a die-cast component.

The component

The casting combines as-cast and machined surfaces, holes and recessed areas. A discontinuity can occur on an external face or on internal cavity walls. Edges and threads are also functional features requiring inspection.

What we inspect

Imago looks for porosity on machined surfaces, inside cavities and in recessed areas reached by internal inspection. It also checks openings, edge integrity and threads in the specified areas. Inspection covers material defects and machining features, including surfaces deep inside the part.
