Porosity plays an important role in determining the ductility in magnesium alloy high
pressure die castings. In this work, X-ray Tomography (XRT), fractographic analysis and …

Due to the uncertain fracture of the die-casting aluminum component (shock tower), X-ray
tomography (XRT) coupled with digital image correlation (DIC) was implemented to …

This paper describes the application of X-ray tomography to predict the tensile fracture
properties of aluminium alloy die-castings containing natural casting defects. A new …

Heterogeneous microstructure and unpredictable porosity distribution in Al–Si high-pressure
die-castings give rise to a significant variation in their mechanical properties. This study …

An accurate methodology based on microtomography, image analysis and finite element
analysis (FEA) has been developed to investigate the causes of fatigue fracture in the …

Integrated die casting is an effective method for the lightweight design of automobiles and
for improving production efficiency. It has gained popularity in the field of new energy …

High-pressure die-casting (HPDC) was used to develop two sizes of Al− 7Si− 0.2 Mg (mass
fraction,%) thin-plates with similar composition. Thin-plate castings with varying degrees of …

Macrosegregation and porosity formation are investigated by both a numerical model and
transient directional solidification experiments. The macrosegregation pattern, and the …

Casting pores are regarded as the main factor causing stress/strain concentrations,
facilitating the initiation of microcracks and shortening the plasticity of a cast component. The …

Double control forming technology was firstly proposed for meeting the producing
requirements of complex Mg alloy parts with high mechanical properties. Not only the high …
