14 Concept & Design SCOPE - to offer our customer an option to the traditional design style of oversized dies and mechanisms which ultimately add to the manufacturing and operational costs of the program. Advantages of the Bank Core Design Improved Quality - Improve dimensional stability of the cylinder locations -Cooling control of the bank core assemblies Improved Cycle Times - Smaller die casting die and machine will cycle faster - Improved cooling of the bank cores Reduced Capital Equipment Cost - Reduced die size utilizing maximum material requirement (software) - Reduced cost to purchase smaller tonnage DCM's Aar-Kel U.S. Patent Design BANK CORE MECHANISM Reduced Manufacturing Cost - Smaller tools thus reduced cost to maintain - Increased travel of the bank core - Provides area for flash and debris to escape the cavity area - Reduced cost to maintain bank shut-offs in the bank core assembly area - Size means less costly refurbishments and rebuilds Removal of Bank Core from within Machine Noted on NADCA website:

Daylight = Machine Calculations Projected Area = 167 sq in + 50% (gates/overflows) = sq in 15,000 PSI = Ton 10,000PSI = Ton

16 Concept & Design Die Size and How it works: How Does the Bank Core Design Work? The bank side core assembly is made up of two racks, bank core carrier, bank core inserts, pinion and a hydraulic motor or hydraulic driven rack which is mounted on the side of the ejector holder block. The concept is to have pancake cylinders do the initial movement by pushing on the back core carrier, stripping the bank core from the cavity. The pancake cylinders are screwed to the ejector holder block allowing easier access for plumbing. Once the pancake cylinders have moved the hydraulic motor or a hydraulic driven rack system will then move the complete bank core assembly away from the cavity. The hydraulic motor is connected to a pinion that goes thru the ejector holder and two rack units that are connected to the bank core carrier allowing the complete bank core unit to be pulled away from the cavity. Once the bank core has been moved away this will then allow any debris to be removed from the die thru a hole that is in the ejector holder. This hole would be big enough to allow flash to exit to the outside of the die. The addition of a blow nozzle would assist in the removal of any debris. Once the cycle has been completed the hydraulic motor will move the bank core assembly back into the forward position. The bank core locking plate would then close up holding all of the injection pressure for the next shot.

19 Die Flow and Analysis Following is a preliminary simulation to get an impression about the casting solidification pattern and cavity filling conditions. Pouring temperature - 650C / 1202F Die temperature to 150C / 300F Filling and solidification is calculated in the 1st cycle. Cavity filling time = 120 msec. Cooling / heating lines are not introduced Venting was not included in this simulation Liners are not included at this time.
