Comparison: Distribution of Rm, conventional sand casting vs. AGSC, schematically<br />
Source: Alcoa<br />
Cast suspension parts showed the following TYE values in T6: 271.3 MPa, 211 MPa, 8 %.<br />
(29 samples, thickness of sections 4-16 mm.)<br />
AGSC has demonstrated its suitability especially for automotive parts but also complex<br />
geometries like heat exchangers. Other examples: Gear parts, knuckles, wheels, calipers,<br />
guidance cases but also shock towers. Safety parts in particular gain by the high quality<br />
microstructure.<br />
