– Core Objective of the Research: To provide a comprehensive overview of magnesium alloy melting and casting processes, examine the historical development, current status, and potential applications of structural magnesium castings, primarily focusing on the automotive industry, and discuss associated technological challenges. The increasing global demand for energy, environmental protection initiatives, and government regulations are expected
Core Objective of the Research: This research aimed to develop an optimal die design for the pressure die casting process of an aluminum alloy wheel hub, a crucial automotive component. The goal was to improve product quality and manufacturing process efficiency by reducing stress concentration within the die, preventing cracking, enhancing cooling efficiency, and optimizing the
1. Introduction to High-Pressure Die Casting: High-pressure die casting (HPDC) is a metal casting process characterized by injecting molten metal into a metal mold (die) under high pressure. Aluminum, valued for its lightweight yet strong nature and excellent corrosion resistance, is a prevalent material in HPDC, leading to its widespread use in diverse industries like
Abstract Ultra-large aluminum shape castings have been increasingly used in automotive vehicles, particularly in electric vehicles for light-weighting and vehicle manufacturing cost reduction. As most of them are structural components subject to both quasi-static, dynamic and cyclic loading, the quality and quantifiable performance of the ultra-large aluminum shape castings is critical to their success in
