Abstract This research presents the design and implementation process of a remote monitoring system for temperature and force-induced pressure measurements in the mold cavity of high-pressure die casting (HPDC). A K-type thermocouple sensor was chosen to gauge the aggressive environment inside the mold cavity. An ejector pin was adapted for the installation of this sensor,

Hongyi Zhu, Cunjuan Xia, Huawei Zhang, Dechao Zhao, Mingliang Wang & Haowei Wang Abstract In recent years, Non-Heat Treatable High Pressure Die Casting Al alloys (NHT-HPDC Al alloys) have been proposed and developed for integrated die casting in the automotive industry. These alloys exhibit excellent castability and can achieve sufficient mechanical properties without the need for heat treatment. Despite their industrial
Xiaorou Ning, Keke Zuo, Yang Li, Wanting Guo, Xiao Peng, Jianguo Su, Lai Song, Weihua Liu, Tongyu Liu & Yuyan Ren Abstract In the process of pouring salt cores, it is crucial to select the appropriate mold temperature, which is essential for the shaping and strength of the salt cores. Additionally, salt cores need to undergo water-soluble cleaning after casting, which has certain requirements for

Abstract Pressure tightness is important for many die-cast aluminium castings, but the interconnected porosity formed in the aluminium alloy high-pressure die castings (HPDC) can form a network connecting several surfaces of the casting, especially as a result of machining after casting. The resulting potential leakage path can be imagined as a series of discontinuities varying in
Hecong Xie, Hua Zhao, Xin Guo, Yongfeng Li, Hengrui Hu, Jiangfeng Song, Bin Jiang & Fusheng Pan Abstract The application of cast magnesium alloy components is increasing in recent years, especially in the new energy automotive and transportation industries. As component application scenarios become increasingly complex, the performance of cast magnesium alloys needs to be further enhanced. Significant progress has been made in
Abstract In the automobile industry, aluminum casting is a commonly utilized production process for structural components. However, flaws in aluminum castings can lead to fatigue failures. This research study provides a thorough analysis of the design, development, construction, and testing of a swing arm made of aluminum die-cast (HPDC). The investigation primarily focuses on analyzing
