Effect of melt flow control via runner design on microstructure and defect formation in high-pressure die cast Al-Si alloy

This study investigates the influence of runner design on the formation of externally solidified crystals (ESCs), porosity and eutectic bands in a non-heat-treated high-pressure die cast (HPDC) AlSi9MnVZr alloy. Three runner configurations: simple runner, pinched runner and pinch...
