Product Highlights & Core Competencies 

Product-optimisation in die-casting 

Ideal moment 

to involve 

the casting-experts 

for future 

serial-development 

Start of component- 

conception 

Concept 

phase 

� Benefits for the customer: 

� Design to manufacturing: die-casting focussed product-optimisation 

(potential material saving & optimised operational strengh) 

� Identification and utilisation of possible functional integrations & weight saving 

potentials 

� High degree of influence at low change costs

Ladder frames 


� Challenges: 

� Flat casting (camshaft bearing, raw areas after 

machining) 

� Guarantee of high surface quality 

� Pre-casted grooves for form-sealings (partly) 

� Machining within high pressure pump flange 

� 5-axle machining 

� Crossed deep hole drillings (30 x d) 

� Customer-benefits: 

� No pre-machining of the camshaft bearing needed 

� cost savings 

� Highest precision 

May 17, 2011

Pressure-tight components 



� Narrow tolerances 

• Concentricity 0.005 = 5µm 

• Cylindrical shape 0.003 = 3µm 

� Complex tool & process layout 

� Highest machining requirements 

� Conventional machining centers & measuring devices 

would be insufficient 

• Linear machining centers „Mikron Multistep“ 

• Roundness measuring device „Hommel Tester T 1000“ 


� Ready-to-fit delivery including 

residual dirt washing 

� High-precision machined 

components 

� Pressure-tight 

May 17, 2011 

| 13


Hybrid components / Function integration 



� Short cycle times due to process optimisation as well 

as elaborated automation 

� Insert sealing (fabrication tolerances: insert/tool) 

� Positioning & mounting of inserts 


� Cost-efficient integration of component functions 

• Oil conduction (pipes) 

• Wear-resistance (inserts) 

� No extensive assembly 

� High design flexibility (e.g. oilpipe within the 

component) 

May 17, 2011 

| 14


Functional raw parts 



� Realised functions without machining 

� Use of triple baseplate tools 


� Cost-efficient casting instead of machining 

• Casted instead of drilled holes 

(e.g. timing case for double clutch gearbox) 

• Casted screw seatings 

(e.g. ladder frames) 

• Casted gearing 

(e.g. outer clutch plate carrier)

Assembled components & systems 



� Realisation of the whole value chain 

� Cycle time and process optimisation 

� Functional testing 


� Documentation of component‘s functionality via 

functional testing 

� Maintaining of an overall system 

(e.g. complete oil-filter mount for 

crankcase assembly (06A) 

consisting of: oil filter fitting, valves, 

locking screws, sealings)

Structural components 

Source: 

Lecture notes by Audi AG, 

Speaker: P. Wanke, p. 8, Oct. 10, 2010 


� Ductile, low iron alloys to achieve highest 

possible mechanical characteristics 

� Internal welding test lab to verify the weldability / 

material property 

� Quality of weld seam (evaluation of pores) 

� Verification of material property 

(elastic limit, tensile strength, strain) 

� Specific equipment to manufacture weldable 

alloys 

� Fondarex-vacuum system 

� BDE-system to identify assemblies and guarantee 

all-over traceability 

� Application of piston-lubrication under specific 

requirements 

� Holding furnaces equiped with nitrate porous-plug

Multiple mould cavities 



� Providing high tool availability 

� Realisation of short insertion times (inserts) 

� Cavity arrangement for maximum structure quality 

� Intelligent core-slider concepts for maximum tool 

cavities 

� Cavity separation especially for machining 


� Max. cost-effectiveness 

1 working cycle � x-fold output 

� Cost-effectiveness even for small parts 

Requirement: high quantity 

� Low tool-costs 

in relation to parts produced
