Question

(10 pts.) Let's suppose that the aluminum part in figure below is to be manufactured in pressure die casting process. Is this design OK, or can it be improved? Questions and Instructions: Question (A): What is the potential problem with the current design? When analyzing the part address the following issues (include them as subtitles): (a) what are the issues with making the part by the current manufacturing process, (b) what are the potential defects that current design would cause when manufactured by the current manufacturing process, (c) identify the areas of potential defects - indicate them on the sketch of the original design. Question (B: How would you modify the part? When making recommendations (include them as subtitles (a) draw a sketch of new design, (b) discuss how would that part be made in the existing or in the new process, (c) what are the potential defects that could occur with the proposed design (nothings perfect).

Explanation / Answer

No the design is not ok because due to sharp corner present in the design;it can improve by providing fillet radius consisdering the stress concentration factor
