The demand for new or improved light metals components in the automotive and aerospace industries continues to be driven by the need for improved fuel economy and performance through weight savings. Cast aluminum alloy products have shown good market penetration by replacing ferrous-based components in automotive engines and through part consolidation in suspension components. While light metals usage may advance vehicle energy efficiency, continuous improvement is needed in the upstream processes to enhance product quality and increase yield and production energy efficiency. The improvement of shape casting processes through the reduction of shrinkage-related casting defects has been selected for consideration in this NSERC Discovery Grant.

汽车和航空航天工业对新的或改进的轻金属部件的需求继续受到通过减轻重量来提高燃料经济性和性能的需求的驱动。铸造铝合金产品通过取代汽车发动机中的铁基部件和通过悬架部件中的部件合并，显示出良好的市场渗透率。虽然轻金属的使用可以提高汽车能源效率，但上游工艺需要不断改进，以提高产品质量，提高产量和生产能源效率。通过减少与收缩相关的铸造缺陷来改进成型铸造工艺已被选择为NSERC发现资助的考虑因素。
