Standards & Guidelines
Product specification references, design guidelines, quality expectations, and TDCA-adopted best-practice documents.
Technical Resources
Practical engineering knowledge for die casting teams.
A structured resource center for process improvement, tooling, materials, standards, supplier knowledge, and future TDCA training content.
Knowledge Architecture
Organized around what engineers need to solve real production problems.
HPDC Defect Library
Cold shut, porosity, soldering, flash, shrinkage, heat checking, die erosion, and root-cause investigation patterns.
Tooling & Die Life
Tool steel selection, thermal fatigue, cooling strategy, surface treatment, maintenance practice, and die life improvement.
Materials
Aluminum and magnesium alloy knowledge, lubricant systems, coatings, consumables, and supplier-backed application notes.
Simulation & Process Control
Flow, solidification, thermal behavior, PQ analysis, gating design, shot profile, automation, and digital manufacturing.
Training Archive
Seminar materials, congress proceedings, webinar recordings, plant visit notes, and member-only learning references.
Priority Topics
Suggested TDCA resource tracks
These tracks can become the foundation for a member knowledge hub as TDCA collects papers, videos, case studies, and supplier technical notes.
Die Casting Problem Solving
Defect classification, process window thinking, root-cause analysis, and corrective action templates.
Tool Steel & Thermal Fatigue
Die material selection, cracking behavior, heat treatment, coating options, and die life optimization.
EV & Lightweight Components
Structural aluminum casting, thin-wall applications, battery housings, e-mobility components, and quality requirements.
Sustainability & Local Supply Chain
Energy efficiency, scrap reduction, circularity, local supplier capability, and competitiveness for ASEAN manufacturing.
