Continuous casting remains a critical process in modern steel production, whereby molten steel is poured into a mould and solidified into semi-finished forms such as blooms, billets or slabs. This ...

Die casting is an excellent method to fabricate high volumes of aluminium, zinc, or magnesium parts. Compared with other production methods, die-cast parts have excellent surface finishes; maintain ...

The continuous casting process is a fundamental operation in modern steel production, whereby molten metal is solidified into semi-finished billets, blooms or slabs. Optimisation of the associated ...

In any casting process it becomes tough to judge the exact cause of defects because they are quite perceptive in nature. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to identify the process parameters ...

Magnesium alloys are considered to be in the vanguard of advanced materials. They are lightweight, with a density of 1.8 g/cm 3, (approximately two thirds that of aluminium alloys) and have the ...
