The experimental results show the squeeze cast alloy absorbing approximately 46.2% more energy during impact than its HPDC counterpart. Scanning electron microscopy fractography reveals the favourable quasi-cleavage fracture mode of the squeeze cast alloy AM60, relative to the decohesive rupture fracture mode present in the die cast alloy.
In cold chamber die casting, the metal is melted in a separate furnace before being injected into the mold, making it better suited for alloys with higher melting points. In conclusion, die casting is a highly effective and …
