Here at Allegorithmic we share this passion for materials, so here is an ode to the materials at the 2016 Paris Motor Show.]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/70968/materials-at-the-heart-of-the-paris-motor-show/feed/ 0 Resistance Spot Weldability of High Strength Steel (HSS) Sheets for Automobiles https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/10265/resistance-spot-weldability-of-high-strength-steel-hss-sheets-for-automobiles/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/10265/resistance-spot-weldability-of-high-strength-steel-hss-sheets-for-automobiles/#respond Mon, 06 Dec 2010 12:50:41 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/?post_type=pub&p=10265 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/10265/resistance-spot-weldability-of-high-strength-steel-hss-sheets-for-automobiles/feed/ 0 Characteristics of Fatigue Fractures in Al-Si Cast Components https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4845/characteristics-of-fatigue-fractures-in-al-si-cast/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4845/characteristics-of-fatigue-fractures-in-al-si-cast/#respond Sat, 19 May 2007 22:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/characteristics-of-fatigue-fractures-in-al-si-cast/ A well-established knowledge of the fractographic characteristics of cast alloys is required to perform fracture analysis of failed components and to determine their fracture mechanisms. These analyses contribute to the continuous improvement of the production process and product design. This paper presents typical macrofractographic and microfractographic aspects of fatigue failures of cast aluminum components.
