Prediction of distortion in thin-walled die castings

With the production of thin-walled, complex structural components made of aluminium and magnesium alloys, the foundry industry has succeeded in substituting many classical sheet metal components by castings. These structural components do not only feature complex geometries but also superior strength and ductility properties, which make for a ...




Using Stress Simulation to tackle Distortion and Cracking in Castings

The use of stress simulation in casting design and manufacturer has found wide spread use in not only the automotive industry but also more general engineering castings. The development of light-weight body structures in the automotive industry has lead to a new generation of large thin walled complex aluminium and magnesium castings with demand...
