Casting has many process variations depending upon the material, the type of pattern, mould and the pouring technique like sand casting, investment casting, die casting, squeeze casting and lost foam casting. Sand casting is the most widely used process which can be used to produce intricate parts in almost every metal that can be melted. Casting defects analysis is process of finding the root ...

A feasibility study of the partial squeeze and vacuum die casting process was performed to make defect-free casting products with excellent mechanical properties. The trial die casting process in this study was industrially implemented for producing a reaction shaft support made of a hyper eutectic Al±15%Si alloy. To combine the squeezing and vacuum effect, the plunger injection system was desi...

Aluminum-based composites find its importance in the field of automobile and aerospace industries owing to their improved mechanical and microstructure properties are utilized for producing cylindrical components in LM6 alloy. Among all types of metal matrix composites (MMCs), considerable attention has been paid towards synthesis and characterization of aluminum matrix composites due to its li...

Abstract Squeeze casting is an advanced technology to produce aluminum alloy components with excellent mechanical property. Due good fluidity and castability, the Al-Si most common material in squeeze casting. However, segregation solid α-Al phase liquid eutectic Si happens during solidification, which leads microstructural inhomogeneous final microstructure. In this study, of Al-12Si-1Cu under...

Squeeze casting is a process that can produce the highest quality castings. In current study, effect of settings and in-die conditions on rejection rates studied through full-scale experimental study. Factors affecting as-cast part were investigated in study from two different viewpoints. The first was to investigate influence rate, second understand die effects rate better reasons sensitivity ...
