The effects of vortex gate design on mechanical strength of thin section casting of LM 25 (Al—7Si-0.3mg) aluminum casting alloy

Aluminum alloy castings are being used progressively more in safety-critical applications in the automotive and aerospace industries. During the production of aluminum ingots and castings, the surface oxide on the liquid is folded in to produce crack-like defects (bifilms), porosities that are extre...
