1. Overview: 2. Research Background: Automobile headlamp reflectors experience high temperatures due to heat generated by the lamp and their sealed structure. These high temperatures reduce light output and shorten lamp lifespan, potentially causing thermal shock deformation in nearby components. While previous research has investigated various aspects of LED lamp design and heat dissipation, including
1. Overview: 2. Research Background: The demand for lightweight and cost-effective heat sinks is increasing. Die casting is a common and economical method for producing complex-shaped heat sinks. To reduce weight, a typical approach involves thinning the fins and base of the heat sink. Previous research explored alternative casting methods like semisolid casting, high-density casting,

Jun Yaokawa, Daisuke Miura, Koichi Anzai, Youji Yamada, Hiroshi Yoshii Abstract The strength of four binary systems NaCl–Na2CO3, KCl–K2CO3, KCl–NaCl and K2CO3–Na2CO3 was investigated in order to develop expendable salt core for high pressure die casting processes. Four point bending test was conducted to determine the strength of specimens made from molten salts by using the permanent mold casting technique.

SharathDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Pondicherry Engineering College, Pillaichavady, Puducherry, 605014, India Abstract Products manufactured from every manufacturing process exhibit some defects. To supply quality products to the customer these defects must be reduced. The motivation for this work is to reduce defects in end products reaching customers, thereby increasing

Introduction Magnesium and its alloys are becoming increasingly important as structural materials for applications in which weight reduction is critical, because of their low density and high stiffness-to-weight ratio. Popular applications include automotive, industrial, materials-handling, and aerospace equipment such as automotive pulleys, cog-tooth
