Channel segregation during columnar solidification : influence of inertia
نویسندگان
چکیده
The numerical prediction of channel segregations during two-dimensional columnar solidification of Sn-Pb alloy is analyzed when inertia is considered in the dendritic mushy zone. This contribution is included in the momentum transport equation through the quadratic Forchheimer correction term. A significant influence of the Forchheimer term in the vicinity of the liquidus region is found. The natural convective flow field and therefore the global shape of the mushy zone are modified giving rise to significant decrease of channel segregation, due to additional drag in these regions.

MODELLING OF THE PERMEABILITY FOR COLUMNAR DENDRITE STRUCTURES DURING SOLIDIFICATION OF MUSHY ALLOYS
A numerical model has been developed for the determination of liquid flow permeability through columnar dendrite during growth. The model is inclusive two stages, first numerical evolution of the dendrite shape during growth, and second numerical determination of the interdendritic liquid permeability. Simulation results shown which solute concentration by evolution of dendrite shape could resu...

متن کاملInfluence of Solidification Conditions on TCP Phase Formation, Casting Porosity and High Temperature Mechanical Properties in a Re-Containing Nickel-Base Superalloy with Columnar Grain Structure
A coarse and a fine dendrite structure were produced using the newly developed DS-superalloy ExAl7 ( IN792 with 2-3 wt.-% Re) by changing the conditions of directional solidification. The two microstructures differed in their primary dendrite arm spacing by a factor of 1.6. During aging, very fine TCP phase precipitates (length approximately 20 m, volume fraction ~ 1 %) were precipitated in the...

Abstract: The aims of this research were to investigate the effects of semisolid metal (SSM) processing parameters (i.e., shear rates –times – temperatures combinations) on the primary solidification products and isothermal holding duration, subsequent to cessation of stirring on the secondary solidification of Al-Si (A356) alloy. The dendrite fragmentation was found to be the governing m...
