Title: Application of Cores and Binders in Metalcasting – Core Research Objective: To provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles and recent global advancements in core and binder technologies used in metalcasting processes. The study focuses particularly on inorganic binders, which have gained renewed interest. The aim is to describe the basic technical characteristics of salt
Aluminum high-pressure die casting is a widely used manufacturing process known for its high efficiency and precision. However, producing parts with undercut shapes—features that interfere with the mold opening direction—poses significant challenges. Traditional solutions, such as slide cores or multi-part molds, increase complexity, costs, and limit design flexibility. Application of Salt Core Technology for Undercut

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
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
