pressure die-casting defects
Drag marks or drags are the most common cosmetic defects in die-casting productions. Drag-Marks-on-Aluminum-Die-Casting It characterizes casting deformation with roughness or undercuts, especially on the surfaces. The cast metals/alloys may stick to the mold during ejection to initiate drag marks. Drag marks shouldn’t be confused with solders as the two share considerable similarities in appearance. Unlike solders, several die surface finishing conditions contribute to drags. The article briefly discussed the sources, effects, and countermeasures for die-casting drags.
