Abstract: A method of heat treating high pressure die cast objects using pressure is disclosed. A high pressure die cast object is obtained and solution heat treated to above 700° F. for at least 2 hours at pressures between 0.5 and 35 KSI or at any pressure or range of pressures therebetween. This method of solution heat treatment with pressure reduces and/or eliminates blistered defects on the high pressure die cast object. The method of heat treating by solution heat treatment with pressure also allows an increase of yield strength and corresponding weight reduction upon redesign or substantially larger safety factors for the cast object.

Abstract: A method for demolding a casting from a casting mold having at least one casting core which images a passage opening in the casting connecting two outer sides of the casting and is produced from a molding material bound by a binder which decomposes under the influence of temperature, wherein the casting mold undergoes a heat treatment in a furnace for the demolding, during which it is heated to a temperature at which the binder loses its binding effect. In the furnace, hot gas is flowed through a passage formed in the casting core of the casting mold, the temperature of the hot gas corresponding at least to the temperature at which the binder of the molding material loses it binding effect such that the casting core decomposes into fragments or separate sand particles as a consequence of the influence of the hot gas.

Abstract: A manufacturing control system is arranged to cause an aluminum alloy blank to be heated to at least its solvus temperature, to cause a die set to be sprayed with a lubricant formulation that includes water, lubricant, and a surfactant, to cause the blank to be positioned in the die set while heated such that the blank does not touch the die set, and to cause the die set to close on the blank to form the blank into a part while quenching the part.

Abstract: An aluminum alloy composition includes, in weight percent: 0.5-0.7 manganese; 0.05-0.15 iron; 0.3-0.5 silicon; 0.020 max nickel; 0.05-0.15 titanium; 0.01 max copper; and 0.10 max zinc, with the balance being aluminum and unavoidable impurities. The alloy may also have a combined amount of manganese and silicon of at least 0.8 wt. % and/or a Mn/Si ratio of 2.25 or less. The alloy may tolerate higher nickel contents than existing alloys, while providing increased corrosion resistance, as well as similar extrudability, strength, and performance. Billets or other intermediate products formed of the alloy may be homogenized at 500-595° C. and controlled cooled at 400° C. per hour or less. The homogenized billet may be extruded into an extruded product, such as an aluminum alloy heat exchanger tube.

Abstract: A thermal-assisted method deforms plastically a high-strength material using a high-intensive heat source. The high-strength material may be a cold-rolled sheet aluminum of strength greater than 300 megapascal (MPa) or a cold-rolled sheet steel of strength greater than 1000 MPa. The cold-rolled sheet metal is heated just before bending to a temperature near or above the critical temperature for the material and is followed by rapid quenching after bending.
