  2. 1. On Tool Failure in Die Casting

    Author : Anders Persson; Sture Hogmark; Jens Bergström; Torsten Eriksson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : Die casting is a very cost-efficient method of forming thin-walled and complex near net-shaped products with close geometric tolerances and good surface finish. A permanent die tool is used to make large quantities of identical products. The performance and tool life are limited by several mechanisms, e.g. READ MORE

  4. 2. Optimization product parts in high pressure die casting process

    Author : Mohammad Sadeghi; Rebei Bel-fdhila; Dan Loyd; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Economics and Organisations;

    Abstract : This thesis describes optimization of die temperature in high pressure die-casting (HPDC) of A380 alloy by experimental observation and numerical simulation with the use of statistical tools. The goal of this research is to determine the optimum die temperature to minimize incidence of these defects and thus maximize production of parts without defects. READ MORE

  5. 3. Casting and anodising of Al alloys- Alloy design, manufacturing process and material properties

    Author : Baiwei Zhu; Caterina Zanella; Rajan Ambat; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cast aluminium; Semi-solid casting; Anodising; Gjutning av aluminium; semi-solid gjutning; anodisering; komponent; gjutlegering; kisel; järn;

    Abstract : Casting and semi-solid metal (SSM) casting are widely used to manufacture near-net-shape components of Al-Si alloys in the automotive and electronic industries. In such applications, casting components need to meet the combined requirements of good mechanical properties and corrosion and wear resistance. READ MORE

  6. 4. Al-7Si-Mg semi-solid castings – microstructure and mechanical properties

    Author : Jorge Santos; Anders E.W. Jarfors; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rheometal™ process; semi‐solid casting; aluminium alloys; grain refinement; segregation; intermetallic phases; heat treatment; mechanical properties;

    Abstract : The vehicles industry is facing increasing demands for fuel efficiency and cost reduction due to environmental legislation, sustainability and customer demands. Therefore, there is a great need to develop and produce lightweight components by using materials and processes that offer higher specific strength and/or design optimization. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mechanical properties of semi-solid Al castings : Role of stirring

    Author : Qing Zhang; Anders E.W. Jarfors; Stefan Jonsson; Tomas Liljenfors; Arne K. Dahle; Johan Ahlström; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rheometal™ process; aluminum alloys; stirring; segregation; porosity; oxides; ductility; fatigue performance; melt quality;

    Abstract : Aluminum castings have been widely used in the automotive industry to reduce the vehicle's weight. However, the existence of casting defects significantly limits its application. The most common and detrimental defects in aluminum castings are porosity and oxides. READ MORE
