freedom [1]. Since a high portion of HPDC-products are integrated in transport vehicles [2], these components also face the challenge of weight reduction with consistent mechanical and structural properties. However it is well known that reducing wall thicknesses leads to undesired vibrations in the casting or even in the component assembly [3]. A novel and innovative approach to act on the potential noise exposure is the integration of smart materials such as piezoelectric materials into the casting good, illustrated in Fig. 1. Furthermore it is worth mentioning, that quite recently the concept of integrated PZT-modules can be applied to other material/production systems like aluminum sheets [4, 5] as well as thermoplastic compound products [6].
