The primary objective of this project was to evaluate the performance characteristics and usefulness of near cavity temperature, liquid pressure, and gas flow rate sensors for improved monitoring and control of die casting processes. Three types of near cavity sensors were evaluated: a multi-thermocouple probe used for determining the surface and near-cavity thermal history of the die; a commercially available direct cavity pressure sensor for measuring the pressure history of the liquid and solidifying alloy in the die cavity; and a vent gas flow sensor for monitoring whether gas exits the cavity vent during cavity filling
