Simulation and experimental validation for defect reduction in geometry varied aluminium plates casted using sand casting

Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Casted Aluminium Alloy for Automotive Safety Application

“…The specimen underwent experimental tests under various loading scenarios to determine the material's non-linear behaviour and ultimate strain. Using computer-aided design (CAD) software, a precise 3D model of the specimen was constructed, which was then evaluated to capture its geometric properties [15][16][17][18]. Combining simulations and experiments allowed the researchers to analyse the behaviour of the metal aluminium alloy.…”

Improving the Efficiency of the Bowden Cable Terminal Injection Process for the Automotive Industry

“…In casting, the parts are obtained through the solidification of the molten metal previously poured into the mold cavity. Casting is nowadays vital in the metalworking industry [12]; it can be applied to almost all metal alloys, with iron, aluminum, steel, and copper being the most common [13]. Casting is a very versatile process with significant advantages, such as the ability to produce complex geometry parts, the possibility to obtain the final form, the capacity to produce large parts, and the application to any type of metal.…”

“…Casting is a very versatile process with significant advantages, such as the ability to produce complex geometry parts, the possibility to obtain the final form, the capacity to produce large parts, and the application to any type of metal. Nonetheless, some issues require attention, such as the obtained mechanical properties, the existence of porosities, poor surface finish, and poor geometric precision [12,14]. One of the most popular variants of casting processes is die casting, a complex process that depends on many parameters, so it must, therefore, be properly controlled to optimize it.…”
