1. Overview: 2. Research Background: This research investigates the impact of rapid injection speed on the quality of magnesium alloy vacuum die castings using AZ91D magnesium alloy. Magnesium alloys are widely used in aerospace, 3C industries, and more due to their high specific strength, stiffness, impact resistance, electromagnetic shielding, thermal conductivity, and recyclability. Existing vacuum
– 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
Abstract – Core Objective of the Research: To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of currently available magnesium casting alloys for aerospace applications, and to develop improved alloys and casting techniques that offer enhanced high-temperature capability, improved corrosion resistance, and the ability to produce larger, more complex castings with weight savings. – Primary Methodology: The research involved a
Abstract This research presents the design and implementation process of a remote monitoring system for temperature and force-induced pressure measurements in the mold cavity of high-pressure die casting (HPDC). A K-type thermocouple sensor was chosen to gauge the aggressive environment inside the mold cavity. An ejector pin was adapted for the installation of this sensor,
Hongyi Zhu, Cunjuan Xia, Huawei Zhang, Dechao Zhao, Mingliang Wang & Haowei Wang Abstract In recent years, Non-Heat Treatable High Pressure Die Casting Al alloys (NHT-HPDC Al alloys) have been proposed and developed for integrated die casting in the automotive industry. These alloys exhibit excellent castability and can achieve sufficient mechanical properties without the need for heat treatment. Despite their industrial
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
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
