Abstract: This paper presents some results of direct observation of mold filling in a specially designed die-casting by X-ray diffraction, including comparison with numerical simulation. Based on such work the authors discuss how to prevent gas entrapment and propose new methods.

Key words: Direct observation, Mold filling, High-pressure die-casting, Computer simulation, Gas entrapment
