  • October 27 2026
    Introduction To Thermal Design and Control 10/27/2026 This webinar will teach the fundamentals of heat transfer using conduction and Fourier's Law. Using this equation the student will apply the laws of conduction and will learn how to design and calculate a cooling line depth in a die cast die. Add to Calendar
  • October 28 2026
    Heat Transfer Continued With Convection 10/28/2026 This webinar will teach the fundamentals of convective heat transfer inside a cooling line. The student will learn about the convective film coefficient and how that affects thermal transfer into a cooling line. Several convection charts will be reviewed and we will start to understand advanced thermal conduction. Add to Calendar
  • November 3 2026
    Combining Conduction and Convection for Thermal Analysis 11/03/2026 This webinar will combine the conduction equations and the convection equations for a comprehensive equation to define the working depth and working length needed to remove heat from a die cast die. Several equations will be worked together for a complete understanding of the concept. Defining heat in terms of sensible heat and latent heat will also be reviewed. In addition, this section will also address heat removal from the die cast die by external sources like die spray. Add to Calendar
  • November 4 2026
    Die Design Procedures for Cooling Line Placement 11/04/2026 This webinar will review the design of a die casting and breaking that casting down into its many components. The heat input from each of those components will be calculated. Once the total heat input is determined, then the cooling line placement for depth and length can be calculated using formulas learned in earlier webinars. Add to Calendar
