Die casting is an excellent method to fabricate high volumes of aluminium, zinc, or magnesium parts. Compared with other production methods, die-cast parts have excellent surface finishes; maintain ...

The Fraunhofer Institute for Nondestructive Testing IZFP carries out research and development activities in the field of nondestructive testing processes along the entire materials value chain. For ...

• Die-casting alloys are two to three times stronger than engineering plastics and have moduli 30 times higher. • The alloys’ thermal and electrical conductivities let die-cast parts perform double ...

A new method facilitates fine-tuning defects in a special class of crystalline materials called metal organic frameworks (MOFs). The approach could lead to the development of more effective compounds ...
