Abstract Lightweighting of electric vehicles is an important consideration to improve range and potentially reduce the vehicle price by downsizing expensive battery and motor components. Aluminum alloys have a combination of light weight, high electrical conductivity and strength that are required in e-motor applications to achieve high power output and efficiency. In this research, Al–Ce

Abstract In order to provide ecological balance, new technologies are being developed to reduce fuel consumption. Within these new technologies, usage of light alloys such as aluminum and magnesium has gained great importance in

Multi-material design approaches can combine specific properties of materials for effective lightweight design. A multi-material component made from two metals used widely in
Vladislav Andronov, Zdeněk Pitrmuc, Jan Zajíc, Pavel Šotka, Libor Beránek & Martin Bock Abstract This study addresses a critical issue in mass-producing gearbox housing MQ200GA at Škoda Auto a.s. The combination of SW ProCAST simulations and metal 3D printing (laser powder bed fusion—L-PBF) overcomes challenges posed by full mold printing. Instead, the authors adapt the conformal cooling design, introducing specific channel
Abstract Pressure tightness is important for many die-cast aluminium castings, but the interconnected porosity formed in the aluminium alloy high-pressure die castings (HPDC) can form a network connecting several surfaces of the casting, especially as a result of machining after casting. The resulting potential leakage path can be imagined as a series of discontinuities varying in

Two topics are analyzed and discussed. First, numerical simulations for variety of molding conditions, including effects of
Hecong Xie, Hua Zhao, Xin Guo, Yongfeng Li, Hengrui Hu, Jiangfeng Song, Bin Jiang & Fusheng Pan Abstract The application of cast magnesium alloy components is increasing in recent years, especially in the new energy automotive and transportation industries. As component application scenarios become increasingly complex, the performance of cast magnesium alloys needs to be further enhanced. Significant progress has been made in
