TOLERANCES FOR
PRESSURE DIECASTINGS
(DIN 1688*)
|
1) Determining the spatial diagonal:
The spatial diagonal R is that between the extreme points of the casting.
It is calculated from the nominal dimensions of the prismatic body, which delimits the casting, whatever its shape

Intrinsic dimensions are those in the same parts of the tool.
Non-intrinsic dimensions are those created by the interaction of movable tool components, e.g. wall thickness and base thickness or dimensions affected by additives or extenders.

TOLERANCES FOR
CHILL CASTINGS
DIN (1688)*
|
In the case of raw castings made of light metal alloys in the chill casting process, all deviations in dimensions are essentially dependent on :
a). the dimensional accuracy of the mold, characterized by the degree of accuracy
b). the position of the mold division, cores, extenders, characterized by the subdivision into intrinsic and non-intrinsic dimensions (see DIN 1680 part 1)
c). the nominal dimensions.

TOLERANCES FOR
ALUMINUM
PROFILES
ACCORDING TO
DIN EN 12020-2*
|
The tolerances for the nominal dimensions (see table 1) depend on the following ratios:
- diameter of the minimum circumscribing circle du divided by the minimum wall thickness
Smin.
- maximum wall thickness Smax divided by the minimum wall thickness Smin.
|
