Mechanical characterization of integral aluminum-FRP-structures produced by high pressure die-casting

Aluminium Foam and Magnesium Compound Casting Produced by High-Pressure Die Casting

Nowadays, fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are two of the main focal points in vehicle design, promoting the reduction in the weight of vehicles by using lighter materials. The aim of the work is to evaluate the influence of different aluminium foams and injection parameters in order to obtain compound castings with a compromise between the obtained properties and weight by high-pr...

Semisolid Processing of Al/β-SiC Composites by Mechanical Stirring Casting and High Pressure Die Casting

High pressure die casting of Fe-based metallic glass

Soft ferromagnetic Fe-based bulk metallic glass key-shaped specimens with a maximum and minimum width of 25.4 and 5 mm, respectively, were successfully produced using a high pressure die casting (HPDC) method, The influence of die material, alloy temperature and flow rate on the microstructure, thermal stability and soft ferromagnetic properties has been studied. The results suggest that a stee...

Residual Stresses in Castings Produced by Press Die Casting Technology

D. Novoselović, I. Budić, I. Samardžić, Mechanical Engineering Faculty in Slavonski Brod, University of Osijek, Croatia The influence of technological parameters on residual stresses in pressure die castings is analysed in this paper. In order for the residual stresses to be as low as possible the optimization of technological parameters is necessary. The centrally composed plan of experiment 2...

Modern High Pressure Die-casting Processes for Aluminium Castings

There are about 33 processes commercially available for the production of aluminium castings. About 70% of the castings are produced using conventional high-pressure die-casting process. It’s main drawbacks are 1) Air and gas blow holes 2) Unable to weld 3) unable to heat treat to enhance mechanical properties. To overcome these, many modern processes have been invented. A few of them are 1) Hi...
