Optimizing the Magnesium Die Casting Process to Achieve Reliability in Automotive Applications

This introduction paper is based on the paper “Optimizing the Magnesium Die Casting Process to Achieve Reliability in Automotive Applications” published by “SAE International”. 1. Overview: 2. Abstract: High pressure die casting is characterized by rapid die filling and subsequent rapid cooling of the molten metal in the die. These characteristics are favourable for magnesium

Fig. 1: A challenging task: simulating the casting process to predict component properties. The biggest benefit of the casting process is its ability to perform many tasks at the same time. However, it is also its biggest drawback, as many process parameters are linked to each other and have to be considered simultaneously.
