Components for automobile engines are made of aluminum, and they therefore need special molds for die casting. Coolers from Wonjin are used in the process to inject cooling water to chill the heated molds. Aluminum melts at 660°C, which means that the repeated casting process keeps the molds heated at high temperature, and may hinder separation of the components from the molds. The cooler is needed to ease the separation process by injecting water into the molds to cool them down, thus decreasing the defect rate, enhancing productivity, and prolonging the durability of the molds.
