This was done by investigating core technologies associated with the classical SSM pressure die casting approach. My research focused on a life cycle analysis of the aluminum alloy A356. An investigation into material properties and characteristics during the materials manufacture and life cycle was compiled. Recycling models where investigated and developed to determine the performance and feasibility of alternative SSM approaches.
