  • Physical and Virtual Prototyping of Magnesium Instrument Panel Structures (.pdf)
    magnesium die-castings are routinely. die-cast in AM60B. Since a major objective of the. cast to a section thickness of 1.0 ­ 2.5mm, alternate low-. prototyping process is to evaluate the load carrying. pressure casting processes such as sand and. capacity of the beam, it wil required that the prototyping
  • Where die casting makes "cents"
    include sand and investment casting of zinc, magnesium, and aluminum alloys, permanent mold casting for aluminum and zinc alloys, and semisolid-metal (SSM) processes for both magnesium and cold-chamber zinc alloys. Powdered metal is yet another option for producing aluminum and magnesium components

  • Aluminum
    . The molten metal enters the cavity by gravity. Metal cores are used in simple applications. Sand or plaster cores are used for more complex coring requirements. When using sand or plaster cores, the process is called semipermanent mold. Permanent mold casting is suited for high volume, uniform wall
  • Cast Iron
