Supercomputer simulation predicts time-resolved porosity in die casting

Aluminum die-cast components are widely used in automotive and precision machinery applications due to their combination of low weight and structural strength. However, internal defects known as porosity—voids formed by entrapped air during casting—remain a persistent challenge. These defects are di...

Aluminum die-cast components are widely used in automotive and precision machinery applications due to their combination of low weight and structural strength. However, internal defects known as porosity—voids formed by entrapped air during casting—remain a persistent challenge. These defects are difficult to detect through external inspection and can compromise mechanical integrity and long-term reliability.
