Characterization of Magnesium Automotive Components Produced by Super-Vacuum Die Casting Process
Abstract
Magnesium automotive components are currently produced by high pressure die casting. These castings cannot be heat-treated to improve the strength and ductility mainly due to the casting imperfections such as porosity and inclusions created by the air entrainment during the turbulent mold filing. These imperfections also prevent magnesium components to be used for highly stressed body components. Efforts were made to produce high integrity …
