Die-Casting Parameter Sizing for AZ91D in Notebook Computer Base Shell

Yung-Kuang Yang and Chorng-Jyh Tzeng Keywords: ANOVA, AZ91D, Die-casting, Taguchi method, Stress–strain. 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
