Process-Structure-Property Correlations for HPDC AM60B

In this paper, we characterize the local micro structure and mechanical properties of an AM60 magnesium alloy high-pressure die-casting in order to further develop predictive process-structure-property models. The casting process is simulated using the commercial code ProCAST™ in order to extract information regarding mold-filling and local solidification conditions including solidification rate and expected levels of shrinkage porosity.
