High pressure die-cast (HPDC) aluminium components that respond to age hardening cannot normally be solution treated at high temperatures because the presence of internal porosity and entrapped gases leads to the formation of surface blisters. Parts may also become dimensionally unstable due to ...
The effect of casting defects on mechanical properties was investigated for a high- pressure die-cast aluminium alloy. A series of U-shaped components were cast using a fully controlled cold chamber high- pressure die- casting machine with different process parameters. Defects existed in gas and ...
