Effect of the Type of Inoculant on the Shrinkage Porosity of High Silicon SG Iron
High-silicon spheroidal graphite (SG) irons present significant challenges to the production of sound castings as it is particularly susceptible to
Science behind KASANDRA®
This article shows the scientific foundations on which Kasandra® predictive software is based. Along with this, a CASE STUDY is
Metallurgical quality of steels for aluminum high-pressure casting dies
The cost of the steel used in the high-pressure casting dies usually represents an important part of the total cost
Correction to: 90 years of thermal analysis as a control tool in the melting of cast iron
Since its first literature mention in conjunction with cast iron in 1931 by Esser and Lautenbusch, thermal analysis (TA) has
Weldability Evaluation of Alloy 718 Investment Castings with Different Si Contents and Thermal Stories and Hot Cracking Mechanism in Their Laser Beam Welds
In this work, weldability and hot cracking susceptibility of five alloy 718 investment castings in laser beam welding (LBW) were
Hot Stamping Research Scenarios from the Last Decade
Hot stamping technology has shown a significant scientific yield in the last decade. The research activity in that field has
Die Material Selection Criteria for Aluminum Hot Stamping
The aim of this work is to develop a die material selection criterion for aluminum hot stamping applications. The criterion
Nodule Count, End of Solidification Cooling Rate, and Shrinkage Porosity Correlations in High Silicon Spheroidal Graphite Iron
High-silicon spheroidal graphite (SG) irons present higher changes of density during the solidification process when compared to normal SG irons.
Quantitative Analysis of Solidification of Compacted Graphite Irons – A Modelling Approach
Several X-ray topography studies which have appeared recently in the literature show compacted graphite in cast iron consisting of coarse

Study of Graphite Nucleation in High Sulfur Ductile Irons
It is well known that sulfur is an excellent promoter of graphite and plays an important role in its formation.
Improved mechanical properties in A356-T6 alloy using ablation technology
Ablation is a technology different enough from casting to ask for a revision of some conventionally comparable factors like the
