During the last decades under the enthusiastic and competent guidance of Mr Chiarmetta SSM processes attained in Italy at Stampal Spa (Torino) an unquestionable high level of industrial development with the production of large numbers of high performance automotive parts, like variety of suspension support, engine suspension mounts, steering knuckle, front suspension wheel, arm and rear axle. Among the most highlighted findings SSM processes demonstrated their capability to reduce the existing gap between casting and forging, moreover during such a processes there are the opportunity to better control the defect level.Purpose of this paper is to highlight the research work and the SSM industrial production attained and developed by Mr G.L. Chiarmetta, as well as to give an overview concerning some alternative methods for the production of enhanced performance light alloys components for critical industrial applications and to present an analysis of a new rheocasting process suitable for the manufacturing of high performance industrial components.

Magnesium die-casting has experienced dramatic growth over the past decade and the recycling of magnesium scrap has become increasingly important due to the generation of substantial quantities of scrap in the die-casting process. Magnesium is a readily recyclable material and the recycling of magnesium scrap is crucial in making magnesium more competitive. The main concern associated with using the secondary magnesium is the high level of Fe content and oxide inclusions that are detrimental to the corrosion and mechanical properties of the secondary alloy. In this study, the die-cast specimens were produced using the recycled class 1 scrap which is refined by means of Ar bubbling and Mn addition without using refining fluxes, and their mechanical properties and corrosion characteristics were investigated. The results showed that the tensile properties of the secondary AZ91 alloy were equivalent to those of the primary magnesium alloy after appropriate treatments. The corrosion resistance of the recycled magnesium was also found to increase by Ar bubbling and Mn addition.

This work aims at studying the possibility of optimising the heat treatment cycles of parts produced using the New Rheocasting process in order to reduce the total cost of the operation, attaining good mechanical properties for high performance parts. The mechanical properties and the microstructure features of the considered A 356 alloy and the relative produced parts have been analysed and studied on samples machined both from the as cast and from the heat treated compomnents. The obtained results showed the possibility of successfully modifying the T6 heat treatment cycle with economical benefits, maintaining at the same time comparable high level properties and performances, together with good dimensional precision.

This paper presents an analysis of a new rheocasting process suitable for the manufacturing of high performance automotive parts. The process is able for the realization of components using Al alloys. An important aspect is related to the possibility to obtain quite wide range of thicknesses, starting from 2.5 mm. The used alloy is the well known A356, with low Fe content, maximum 0.08 wt%. T6 heat treatments has been performed, while the soundness of the parts has been certified by non destructive tests. These parts are produced to be mounted on a top level and famous sport car. Non standard samples for mechanical tests have been machined directly from the components. Following the mechanical tests fracture surface analysis has been carried out by SEM to observe some morphological details and to evaluate the influence of the process and of the alloy conditions on the fracture behaviour. On the polished transverse sections of the samples morphological analysis has been performed. The obtained results shown high level of mechanical strength for all series of components. The reliability of the process is very high at a convenient level of manufacturing rate. The weldability of the parts has been demonstrated.
