IJMC Includes Modification of Al-Si Alloys, Endurance of DI |
|
The third issue of the International Journal of Metalcasting (IJMC) will be released April 2008. This issue will feature four papers and a technical communication, including a follow-up work by Geoffrey Sigworth, Alcoa Primary Metals, "The Modification of Al-Si Casting Alloys: Important Practical and Theoretical Aspects." This paper builds upon his first fundamental work discussing grain refinement. A second paper, "Comparative Study Evaluation of Fatigue Endurance Limit of 4-and 6-mm Thin Wall Ductile Iron," by C. Labrecque, M. Gagne & P. Cabanne, Rio Tinto Iron & Titanium, and C. Francois, C. Becret and F. Hoffmann, PSA Peugeot Citroen, describes the practical approach taken and important mechanical properties developed to obtain light weight ductile iron components for demanding and safety critical automobile suspension applications. Don't delay, subscribe now to receive the publication leading the transfer of research and technology to the global metalcasting industry.
