The SS (Semi-solid) diecasters usually cany out the SS d~ecastmg experiments before producing new products. At the SS diecasting stages, the runner-gate part is always repeatedly corrected, which leads to a lengthened processing time and increased processing cost. The SS diecasting die design should consider component system factors. such as runner, gate, biscuit, overflow and airvent. A large amount of experience is essential in manual assessment and if the design is defective, much time and a great deal of efforts will be wasted in the modification of the d~e. Thus human negligence should be minimized. In this study, die design system for SS diecasting process has been developed to present algonthm of die design, especially runner-gate system. In addition, specific rules and equations for runner-gate system have been presented to avoid too many trials and errors with expensive equipment. It is possible for engineers to be efficient die design of SS diecasting and it will result in reduction of expense and time to be required. And we developed CAD system for SS diecasting die design by AutoLISP language under AutoCAD using proposed algorithm and the database. In addition, we developed the vector analysis program for filling pattern of SS metals.
