iTherm® Chill vent is a single-body component with a specially designed internal conformal cooling system. It is used for an immediate freeze of molten Aluminium or Magnesium, resulting in less unplanned downtime and safer casting operation.
iTherm® Chill vent is produced from tool steel forged or rolled blocks using HTS proprietary additive manufacturing technology.
It is a single body component with equal mechanical properties as tool steel monoblock.
It has only two connectors for the cooling medium (IN and OUT).
Cooling channels can be freely designed according to cooling/heating requirements of the cast part, not by limitations of using conventional drilling method.
It is highly customizable to specific customer requirements.
In comparison with conventionally made cooper or steel vents, iTherm® Chill vents give you extra flexibility to bring cooling channels near the critical zones.
Conventional Chill Vent
iTherm® Chill Vent
In comparison with the conventionally made cooper or steel vents, iTherm® Chill vents have a large venting profile and the highest cooling power that guarantee immediate freeze of molten metal, making the casting operation safer.
In comparison with the conventionally made cooper vent, iTherm® Chill vents are more wear-resistant and have a longer lifetime. This is directly reflected in fewer unplanned production stoppages.
High cooling power obtained by conformal-cooling circuit permits a large venting profile, assisting the elimination of porosity in the cast part.
