  bibo_abstract:
  - Lightweight design is a driving concept in modern automotive engineering to minimize
    resource consumption over a vehicle's lifecycle through multi-material design,
    which relies on the use of joining techniques in car body fabrication. Multi-material
    design and the increasing trend towards producing large structural components
    using the megacasting process pose considerable challenges, particularly in the
    mechanical joining of aluminium-silicon (AlSi) castings. These castings typically
    exhibit low ductility and are prone to cracking when mechanically joined. Based
    on the excellent castability of hypoeutectic AlSi alloys, these are applied in
    sand casting and die casting as well as in megacasting. With a silicon content
    between 7 wt% and 12 wt%, these AlSi-alloys have a plate-like silicon phase that
    initiates cracks during mechanical joining. To enhance the joinability of castings,
    the research hypothesis is that improved solidification conditions enable a significant
    modification in the microstructure and therefore, increase the mechanical properties.
    During the manufacture of the castings using the sand casting process, the solidification
    conditions within the structural elements are varied to modify the microstructure
    to obtain castings with graded microstructure. The castings are evaluated using
    mechanical, microstructural and joining testing methods and finally, a microstructure-joinability
    correlation is established.@eng
