Die casting is an excellent method to fabricate high volumes of aluminium, zinc, or magnesium parts. Compared with other production methods, die-cast parts have excellent surface finishes; maintain ...

In any casting process it becomes tough to judge the exact cause of defects because they are quite perceptive in nature. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to identify the process parameters ...

Magnesium alloys are considered to be in the vanguard of advanced materials. They are lightweight, with a density of 1.8 g/cm 3, (approximately two thirds that of aluminium alloys) and have the ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a new approach to detail the formation of material changes at the atomic scale and in near-real time, an ...

A new approach has been uncovered to detail the formation of material defects at the atomic scale and in near-real time, an important step that could assist in engineering better and stronger new ...

Understanding your company’s manufacturing process and how to minimize defects has always been important. Today, its importance is increasing with the complexity of products and the customers' demand ...

Continuous casting is a cornerstone process in modern steel production, where molten metal is solidified into a semi-finished slab within a mould. Thermal analysis of the mould is fundamental to ...
