| Abstract Scope |
High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) aluminium for large structural application, known as giga-casting, has recently gained significant interest in the automotive industry as it offers not only substantial cost efficiency, but also sustainable manufacturing. Recycling, particularly through increased use of Post Consumer Scrap (PCS), therefore, plays an important role in this transformation as it not only reduces the carbon footprint, but also aligns with global decarbonisation goals. However, using PCS introduces higher impurity elements such as Fe, Cu and Zn which may affect performance of HPDC components. In this study, the influence of high content of these impurity elements on the corrosion susceptibility and mechanical properties by means of tensile test and VDA bendability of thin-wall AlSi10MgMn HPDC alloy is investigated. The tests were performed both in T1 and T6 condition. The findings aim to guide the automotive sector in adopting higher recycled content while maintaining material performance and integrity. |
