1. Overview: 2. Background: Lightweighting in the automotive industry is crucial for improving fuel efficiency. Aluminum and magnesium castings have been utilized for this purpose for a considerable time, gaining significant traction since the mid-1970s. Aluminum castings offer a 30-50% mass reduction compared to steel, while magnesium castings provide a 40-60% reduction. However, existing aluminum

Qi-gui Wang, Andy Wang & Jason Coryell 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

– 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 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,
