In this study, two processes to fabricate casting mold, conventional sand casting process
and additive manufacturing or 3D printing process, are comparatively investigated. The two …

Cylinder head is one of the most important parts of heated components in the engine, while
cracking due to low strength and large residual stress at high temperature is the main failure …

Poly (furfuryl alcohol) bioresin (PFA) was synthesized and utilized through two distinct
alloying strategies. It was crosslinked by a bismaleimide (BMI) via a Diels–Alder (DA) …

Binder jet 3D printing of ceramic materials is an additive manufacturing technology that
enables the production of complex and multi-functional parts through the selective jet …

Thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) failure is the major problem of the cylinder head
subjected to combined variations in temperature and loading during operation. This study …

Cylinder head is subjected to the combination changes of temperature and mechanical
loads in service. In such harsh condition, thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) failure is a main …

Metalcasting involves having a molten metal poured in a hollow mould to produce metal
objects. These moulds are generally made of sand and are chemically bonded, clay …

The influence of graphite morphology on the corrosion-fatigue mechanism in the cast
compacted graphite iron SiMo1000 is investigated. Two batches of SiMo1000 with the same …

The narrow production window for compacted graphite iron material (CGI) drastically
reduces the possibilities to produce it in small batches outside an industrial environment …

An evaluation method for the initial penetration of molten cast iron into the sand mold was
suggested based on the laboratory-scale penetration experiments for the cast iron. The …
