An innovative light roof bracket made of die cast magnesium AM60 alloy was developed by 'ORTAL DIE CASTING'. This product will replace an existing bracket produced with inserted components of sintered steel teeth rack into the magnesium roof bracket, and affixed by plastic deformation process. Innovative and accurate die casting technology made it possible to integrate the teeth rack as part of the roof bracket. Via that technology the cost of the product will dramatically reduced. Preliminary results of functional tests, hardness, wear resistance and mechanical strength were obtained to ensure reliability and endurance of the new integrated die cast magnesium teeth rack. Simulations, mechanical and functional tests were also obtained from experiments that were carried out on machined parts with different casting parameters. Metallurgical evaluation of the microstructure was obtained by optic and electrons scanning microscopy.
