Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Mechanical potential of Al-Si alloys for high Pressure, low pressure and gravity die casting
This Technical Report presents the characteristics of reference dies and reference castings, to be used for evaluating the mechanical potential (in terms of Ultimate Tensile Strength, Yield Strength and Elongation) which can be expected by Al-Si alloys, cast by high pressure, low pressure and gravity (permanent mould) processes. These properties are measured on test specimens produced with state-of-the-art knowledge on die design, process management and alloy treatments correctly applied to minimize defects and imperfections.

Aluminij in aluminijeve zlitine - Mehanska kapaciteta zlitin Al-Si za visokotlačne, nizkotlačne in težnostno kokilno ulite ulitke
To tehnično poročilo predstavlja značilnosti referenčnih kokil in referenčnih ulitkov, ki se uporabljajo za ocenjevanje mehanske kapacitete (v smislu natezne trdnosti, prožnosti in razteznosti), ki se lahko pričakuje od zlitin Al-Si za visokotlačne, nizkotlačne in težnostno (kalup) ulite ulitke. Te lastnosti se izmerijo na preskusnih vzorcih, izdelanih z najsodobnejšimi postopki na področju izdelave kokil, vodenja postopkov in obdelave zlitin, ki ob ustrezni uporabi zmanjšajo napake in nepravilnosti.
