CASTING TECHNOLOGY
September - October 2007
A Complete Global Publication on Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Foundries
Ultrasonic inspection of sub-surface defects in aluminium die-castings |
EDITOR'S COMMENT
Indian foundry needs more attention towards an immediate facelift
The official steel production figure in India has already crossed the 40 MT mark with the unofficial estimations touching the 52 MT mark and the steel industry in the country is now even more poised for further achieving rapid growth in the years to come.
SPECIAL COVERAGE
Ultrasonic inspection of sub-surface defects in aluminium die-casting
Non-destructive testing using ultrasonic measurement is used to ensure the quality of the die-casting products. The quality of a casting depends on the presence of discontinuities such as porosity and on the final metallurgical structure.
News Corner
- EPA proposes rules for iron and steel metal casting facilities
- CastExpo to be held on 17-20 May, 2008 in Atlanta
- 19th EHS of American Foundry Society
- Monomoy Capital Partners acquires Alcoa Automotive Castings
IN FOCUS
Dimensionally stable aluminium casting components
High operating temperature cause aluminium pressure die casting components to expand dimensionally. The higher the operating temperature, the more damaginf this aluminium "growth" can be. In particular, interference fits can be affected. ZF Friedrichshafen AG has developed a process that eliminates this problem.
