Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The final performance of products as well as their economic and environmental sustainability result from the integrated design of parts and related manufacturing processes. In particular, die casting and metal forming manufacturing are pivotal processes that are integral to the production of parts in, for example, the automotive, construction, aerospace, and electronics industries, amongst others. This is becoming more and more important nowadays, seeking resource efficiency towards near net shape production. Recent advances in design methods, simulation techniques, process modeling, material science, and tooling technology have led to remarkable improvements in product quality, efficiency, and sustainability. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest research and developments in die casting and metal forming manufacturing, along with part design and optimization by taking into account manufacturability constraints, providing a platform for researchers and practitioners to disseminate their latest findings and innovations in these fields. Of particular interest are original contributions that demonstrate a successful application for improvement in resource efficiency.
Research topics that are of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel die casting techniques and technologies;
- Advanced forming processes and techniques;
- Resource efficiency;
- Energy saving;
- Integrated part and process design;
- Process modeling, simulation, and optimization;
- Industry 4.0 applications;
- Advanced materials and alloys;
- Tooling design and innovations;
- Surface treatment and finishing of die equipment;
- Quality control and inspection methodologies;
- Surface engineering and coatings;
- Case studies and applications in specific industries.
