Scientists have developed modelling tools that show the impact of even minute adjustments to the casting process on aluminum casthouse products. The Norwegian project "Modelling-assisted Innovation ...

Car components with doubled mechanical strength, higher fatigue resistance and improved energy absorption are the result of a revolutionary CSIRO heat treatment process for high pressure die casting ...

By replacing around 60 welded components with a single module, gigantic aluminium die casting machines made by the likes of Tesla supplier IDRA Group are helping carmakers to simplify manufacturing ...

Primary aluminium is produced in reduction plants (or ‘smelters’), where pure aluminium is extracted from alumina by the Hall-Héroult process. Reduction of Alumina to Form Aluminium The reduction of ...

Direct chill (DC) casting is an industrially significant method for producing high-quality aluminium alloy ingots. In this process, molten alloy is poured into a water‐cooled mould, where controlled ...

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 ...

Even though not all of us will do it, many of us are interested in the art of casting metal. It remains a process that’s not out of reach, though, especially for metals such as aluminium whose melting ...
