This study describes a model (MIKADO) to analyse options to reduce the environmental impact of aluminium die casting. This model will take a company perspective, so that it can be used as a decision-support tool for the environmental management of a plant. MIKADO can be used to perform scenario analyses to analyse the impact on the environment of different strategies, while taking into account ...

Purpose: The aim of the work is presents the influence of casting method and anodic treatment parameters on properties, thickness and structure of an anodic layer formed on aluminium casting alloys. Design/methodology/approach: Investigations were carried out on the laser profile measurement gauge MicroProf from company FRT, abrasive wear test was made with using ABR-8251 equipment delivered by...

Based on the 3 factors and levels orthogonal experiment method, compositional effects of Mg, Si, Ti addition microstructures, tensile properties, fracture behaviors high-pressure die-casting Al-xMg-ySi-zTi alloys have been investigated. The analysis variance shows that both Mg Si apparently influence properties alloys, while does not. mechanical are comprehensively influenced by amount eutectic...
