Lightweight design and electrified powertrain have become important strategies in the automotive industry to reduce fuel demand and break down emissions respectively. Lightweighting of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is considered a step forward because the advantages of both EVs and lightweight […]
Over the last few decades, aluminium alloys have been increasingly used in the construction and automotive sector due to their favourable properties. Thereafter, many research projects such as the FLAMINGo have been carried out with the aim to obtain a […]
In January 2021, an interesting article was published related to topology optimization in structural steel design and additive manufacturing. Topology Optimisation is a broad concept deemed to encapsulate different processes for computationally determining structural materials’ optimal layouts. With the purpose […]
A new report by the International Aluminium Institute reveals that global aluminium demand will increase by almost 40 per cent by 2030 and that the aluminium sector will need to produce an additional 33.3 Mt to meet demand growth in […]
This publication showcases a framework for the design of automotive parts using topology optimization and additive manufacturing (AM). The long production times, post processing, and surface quality of AM processes deters companies from deploying it as a true manufacturing solution, […]
FLAMINGo was recently included in the project portfolio of EGVIA. The European Green Vehicles Initiative Association for the 2Zero partnership (EGVIAfor2Zero) is an international non-profit association engaged with the European Commission into the 2Zero partnership in order to represent the Partners other than […]
Transport word aluminium org., has an interested article on their website related to the direct and indirect advantages of lightweight aluminium potential by including relative examples such as Audi A8 case and Jaguar XE. The potential of aluminium as a mass […]
Lightweight metal matrix nanocomposites (MMnC) could offer distinct advanced properties to light metals due to inherent high-temperature stability, high strength, high stiffness, and wear resistance. Production processes have to consider that the movement of particles in the nanoscale range differs […]
Ultrasonic processing is known to be an efficient means of aluminium melt degassing and structure modification with additional benefits of being economical and environment friendly. The present paper reports on the kinetics of ultrasonic degassing and regassing of foundry aluminium […]
Ultrasonic processing is known to be an efficient means of aluminium melt degassing and structure modification with additional benefits of being economical and environment friendly. This paper reports on the kinetics of ultrasonic degassing effect of foundry alloys. Direct measurements […]
