Low- and High-Pressure Casting Aluminum Alloys: A Review

WRITTEN BY Helder Nunes, Omid Emadinia, Manuel F. Vieira and Ana Reis Submitted: December 5th, 2022 Reviewed: January 7th, 2023 Published: February 3rd, 2023 DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.109869 Abstract Low- pressure casting and high-pressure casting processes are the most common liquid-based technologies used to produce aluminum components. Processing conditions such as cooling rate and pressure level greatly influence the

Development of High-Ductility and Low-Hot-Tearing-Susceptibility Non-heat Treatment Al–Mg–Mn-Based Die Casting Alloy for Automotive Structural Parts

Development of High-Ductility and Low-Hot-Tearing-Susceptibility Non-heat Treatment Al–Mg–Mn-Based Die Casting Alloy for Automotive Structural Parts

International Journal of Metalcasting (2023)Cite this article Abstract Non-heat-treated Al–Mg-based die casting alloys have been developed for the structural parts of automobiles. In previous studies, alloy compositions with at least 1.0%Si have been proposed to reduce the hot tearing susceptibility (HTS). On the other hand, the increase in the Si content reduces the ductility. For some

A heuristic approach to meet geometric tolerance in High Pressure Die Casting

A heuristic approach to meet geometric tolerance in High Pressure Die Casting

G.CampatelliA.Scippa Abstract In High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC), geometrical distortions usually happen during the cooling phase, due to the reduced cooling time and the high thermal gradient inside the product itself. This phenomenon affects most the thin walled products. The usual die design practice considers only the linear shrinking of the product during the cooling as a consequence of

High strength and ductility aluminium alloy processed by high pressure die casting

XixiDongaHailinYangbXiangzhenZhuaShouxunJiaShow moreAdd to MendeleyShareCite https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jallcom.2018.09.260Get rights and content Abstract A high strength (Yield strength ≥ 320 MPa) and high ductility (Tensile elongation ≥ 10%) die–cast aluminium alloy was first developed. The AlSiCuMgMn alloy processed by high pressure die casting can provide the high yield strength of 321 MPa, the high ultimate tensile strength of 425 MPa and the high ductility of 11.3%, after solution treated at

Macro Porosity Formation: A Study in High Pressure Die Casting

Macro Porosity Formation: A Study in High Pressure Die Casting

David Blondheim Jr. & Alex Monroe Abstract Porosity formation in high pressure die casting (HPDC) impacts mechanical properties and casting quality. Much is published regarding micro porosity and its impact on mechanical properties, but there is limited research on the actual formation of macro porosity. In production applications, macro porosity plays a critically important role in casting
