Inclusions refer to contaminating unwanted particles/compositions/products in die casting. Depending on the contaminants, there are several forms of inclusions in metal casting. It’s a serious defect that affects the mechanical properties of cast parts. Inclusions shouldn’t be confused with porosity, as the latter occurs due to gas entrapment. On the contrary, only solid products, compositions, […]
Hot cracking refers to the defective tears occurring at the later phases of die-casting solidification. It’s characterized by crooked cracks with irregular surface fractures. It’s one of the most common casting defects in malleable iron and steel castings, as well as some light alloy castings. Despite shrinkage being the primary antagonist to cause the defect, several
Squeeze casting represents a sophisticated manufacturing process that melds the strengths of casting and forging to create top-notch metal components. This innovative technique is also referred to as thixoforming and liquid metal forging. Non-ferrous alloys like magnesium, copper, and aluminum are used to produce high-quality metals through it. The parts manufactured through squeeze casting have enhanced
