This article provides an overview of high-pressure die casting (HPDC)-related research
undertaken at the EPSRC Future LiME Hub between 2015–2022. The project aimed to …

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 …

Replacing steel with aluminum and shifting from forging to casting have become important
means of automotive lightweight. Large integrated die-cast parts are gaining popularity …

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 …

Currently, most magnesium lightweight components are fabricated by casting as this
process is cost effective and allows forming parts with complex geometries and weak …

This article unmasks the probabilistic nature of high-pressure die casting; specifically, the
cause of scatter in the tensile ductility of die-cast Al8Si0· 4Mn0· 3Mg (wt.%) alloy. Scatter in …

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 …

This is the second of two papers that analyze the effects of porosity upon the fracture
properties of the die-cast AM60B magnesium alloy. This paper investigates the effects of the …
