Application of laser additive manufacturing to produce dies for aluminium high pressure die casting

Author: Pereira, MFVT ; Williams, M ; Du Preez, WB Date: Jul 2012 A number of laser additive manufacturing (LAM) technologies can produce fully-dense metal components that potentially offer opportunities to apply the technology in die or mould making (known as rapid tooling). From these LAM technologies, ... Read more
Characterization of metal powder based rapid prototyping components under aluminium high pressure die casting process conditions

Author: Pereira, MFVT ; Williams, M ; Du Preez, WB Date: Nov 2009 This paper is based on tests performed on die component specimens grown on an EOS RP technology platform, as well as manufactured specimens machined out of preferred standard hot work steel DIN 1.2344. These specimens resemble typical components ... Read more
Evaluation of surface chemical segregation of semi-solid cast aluminium alloy A356

Author: Govender, G ; Möller, H Date: 2008 In order for SSM forming to produce homogeneous properties in a casting, it is important that there is a uniform distribution of the primary grains. Besides producing a sound casting free of porosity, the amount of liquid segregation must be ... Read more
Rapid die manufacturing using direct laser metal deposition

Author: Pereira, MFVT ; Williams, M ; Bruwer, R Date: 2009 This paper highlights the work undertaken at the CSIR on the issue of rapid die manufacturing through the application and evaluation of a rapid prototyping technique and coating technologies applied to die components of a high pressure casting ...

Reducing non value adding aluminium alloy in production of parts through high pressure die casting

Author: Pereira, MFVT ; Williams, M ; Du Preez, WB Date: Oct 2010 The difficulties and issues associated with the economics of the process and die life in casting Aluminium alloys, as experienced by the high pressure die casting industry, were reasons behind undertaking this research project. The use of a ... Read more
Semi-solid casting of pure magnesium

Author: Curle, Ulyate A ; Wilkins, Jeremias D Date: Jan 2019 Semi-solid processing works on the principal of a solidification temperature interval of a substance. The substance is heated to a temperature within this interval so that there exists a related solid-liquid fraction ratio. The substance with ... Read more
Semi-solid near-net shape rheocasting of heat treatable wrought aluminum alloys

Author: Curle, UA Date: Sep 2010 Flexibility of the CSIR-RCS, induction stirring with simultaneous air cooling process, in combination with high pressure die casting is successfully demonstrated by semi-solid rheocasting of plates performed on commercial 2024, 6082 and 7075 ... Read more
Semi-solid rheocasting of grain refined aluminum alloy 7075

Author: Curle, UA ; Govender, G Date: Sep 2010 Near-net shape rheocasting with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research Rheo casting system(CSIR–RCS) and a high pressure die casting machine was successfully performed on Al–5Ti–1B grain refined aluminum alloy 7075. Grain refinement ... Read more
