Electric motor housings are critical components that encase and protect the internal parts of a motor, such as the stator and rotor, from environmental factors and mechanical damage. These housings also play a vital role in the thermal management of the motor by dissipating heat generated during operation. As essential parts of the motor assembly, they contribute to the overall safety, efficiency, and performance of the motor.
The manufacturing of electric motor housings typically involves the die casting process, particularly suitable for metals such as aluminum and its alloys. Die casting is favored for this application due to its ability to produce complex shapes with high dimensional accuracy and excellent surface finish.
Process Overview
1. Mold Preparation: The die casting process begins with the creation of a steel mold, designed to form the desired shape of the motor housing.
2. Molten Metal Injection: Aluminum or its alloy is melted and injec…
