Abstract
In order to achieve the mechanical properties of thin-wall components made by high pressure die-casting at a level of 300MPa of yield strength, 420MPa of UTS and 3% of elongation, the composition of the new aluminium alloy and casting parameters have been optimized to reduce casting defects in final components. In the present paper, we describe the alloy development in an industrial scale HPDC system.
