Automotive Aluminum Castings Technology<\/em> is a practical book that details the key features of high-strength structural castings for automobiles with internal combustion engines and electric vehicles. The book discusses alloy options, design methodologies of critical safety components, guidelines for manufacturability, and examples of vehicle weight reduction and lightweighting. The book also features major automotive castings and their geometric and functional features, main casting methods and their suitability for automotive applications, engineering of critical castings, design methodologies for high-integrity lightweight designs, and vehicle lightweighting strategies.<\/p>\n

Component design engineers will find this book very helpful in gaining knowledge of the alloys, casting methods, and castability or manufacturability needs of high-strength, lightweight castings. Casting engineers will find this book very useful in understanding automotive components, their functional and dimensional requirements, strength, and quality needs. Machining engineers will benefit from understanding alloys, their machinability, fixturing, and dimensional requirements.<\/p>\n

Automotive Aluminum Castings Technology<\/em> should be of special interest to casting practitioners who want to understand product and process development aspects to evolve innovative, high-integrity, and near-net-shape automotive components to address the lightweighting demands of gasoline, electric, and hybrid vehicles.<\/p>\n
