1. 1. Comparison of different aluminium casting processes from an environmental perspective : Case study on plaster mould castings produced in Mid Sweden

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Avdelningen för ekoteknik och hållbart byggande

   Author : Henning Schaub; [2018]
   Keywords : Abiotic Depletion Potential; Acidification potential; Aluminium; Carbon Footprint; Casting; Comparison; Eutrophication; Foundry; Global Warming Potential; GWP100a; LCA; Life Cycle Assessment; Lost Wax Casting; Ozone Depletion Potential; Photochemical Oxidation Potential; Plaster Mould Casting; Plaster of Paris; Sand Casting; Pressure Die Casting; Screening LCA; Sweden;

   Abstract : While Aluminium has lots of unique properties and is seen as a material of the future, its production and manufacturing has significant environmental impacts. For complex and dimensional shapes casting remains the main manufacturing method and in this study the environmental pressure of different casting techniques is compared. READ MORE

3. 2. The influence of microstructural deformations and defects on mechanical properties in cast aluminium components by using Digital Image Correlation Techniques (DICT)

   University essay from Högskolan i Jönköping/Tekniska Högskolan

   Author : Jahanmehr Armanjo; [2015]
   Keywords : Al-Si cast alloys; AlSi7Mg0.3; strontium modification; heat treatment; SDAS Secondary Dendrite Arm Space ; Aramis; digital image correlation technique DICT ; mechanical properties ultimate tensile strength; offset yield strength and elongation ; plaster mould processes;

   Abstract : Digital image correlation techniques (DICT), a non-contact deformation measuring technique based on gray value digital images, have become increasingly used over the last years. By using the DIC technique during a tensile test, the deformation behavior of different engineering material under an applied load can be determined and analyzed. READ MORE
