CONFERENCE

LIGHT-WEIGHTING OF ALUMINIUM CASTINGS

The international Conference at ALUCAST Events is primarily a vehicle to bring to the notice and
attention of the die casting community topics which could have a profound impact on the industry.
Currently one of many major tasks on hand is reduction in the degradation of the earths
environment, especially due to burning of fossil fuels in automobiles with the attendant emission of
carbon into the atmosphere. It has been well chronicled that a 10% reduction in the vehicle weight
improves fuel efficiency by 7% and proportionate reduction in carbon emission and increase in
payload capacity.
Use of Aluminium, Magnesium, and composite materials for castings, joining high strength steel to
aluminium, or further reduction in weight of parts already made from aluminium are some of the
routes by which vehicle weight can be reduced economically. The Theme of this years Conference
Light weighting of Aluminium Castings was therefore appropriate and timely.
Light-weighting of aluminium castings may involve changes in the manufacturing processes,
machines, materials, methods and tighter control on several parameters. Papers presented during the
Conference dealt with each of the above aspects. The Conference was especially beneficial to
personnel engaged in vehicle design, part design, R & D, Materials procurement and purchase.
The Technical Conference was a great success. Thirteen papers, covering a wide array of technical,
management and product information were presented over the six sessions. All the presentations
provoked high levels of interactive Q & A sessions amongst the audience packed to capacity.
