Abstract: This research paper investigates the die casting process for automobile oil pans using heat-resistant magnesium alloys, aiming to replace the currently used aluminum alloy. The study uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental die casting to evaluate the process parameters and material properties for optimal performance and defect reduction. The primary focus is

1. Overview: 2. Background: The Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, enacted in 1975, mandated improvements in the average fuel economy of North American cars and light trucks. While initial increases were required from Model Year (MY) 1978–MY 1985, significant increases weren’t seen until MY 2011. Currently, rising fuel economy requirements are scheduled through MY
