This article introduces the paper [‘Optimization of Die casting process based on Taguchi approach’] published by [‘Elsevier’]. 1. Overview: 2. Abstracts or Introduction Due to its attributes of light weight and good formability, aluminium die casting is significantly important in the automotive industry. Porosity is a frequently encountered defect in aluminium die castings, limiting the
This article introduces the paper ‘DESIGNING AN INNOVATIVE MODULAR PLATFORM FOR SPORTS CARS USING THE GENERATIVE DESIGN METHOD’ published by ‘Università di Bologna’. 1. Overview: 2. Abstracts Traditional methods, where chassis components are tailored for each vehicle type, lack flexibility and efficiency. The concept of current modular platforms, allows the reuse of components across different

This article introduces the paper “OPTIMAL PLATE-FIN DESIGN FOR IMPROVING HEAT DISSIPATION PERFORMANCE OF AUTOMOBILE LAMP REFLECTORS”. 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
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.
N. Rathinam ⇑, R. Dhinakaran, E. 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
