By replacing around 60 welded components with a single module, gigantic aluminium die casting machines made by the likes of Tesla supplier IDRA Group are helping carmakers to simplify manufacturing ...

The automotive industry has high hopes for the potential of large-scale casting, or megacasting technology. But the adoption of high-pressure die castings to replace assemblages of stamped parts ...

Carmakers have been pursuing more advanced production methods as automotive electrification continues. Chinese EV brand Neta announced that it will start developing a die-casting machine of over ...

In the high-stakes world of automotive manufacturing, die-casting, a technique involving forcing molten metal into a mold cavity under high pressure, has long been important for producing complex ...

Compared to traditional die casting with full liquid melt, semi-solid die casting applies a higher viscous slurry and fills the die cavity with laminar flow, thus avoiding entrapment defects and ...

The die casting is a conformally cooled insert that was produced using Fraunhofer ILT's gantry-type, multi-laser Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) machine with MacLean-Fogg's L-40 tool steel powder. A ...
