A Study for Analyzing Effects of Design Parameters in the Sand Casting Process of Aluminum Alloy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of aluminum alloys are of significant use in industry. Studying of design parameters of such products is important as not much work has been done for optimizing it. The generic formulation involves the flow, velocity, continuity fluid dynamics and shape related issues. The time for filling the mould and shape factor also play major role in performance of the casting process. In this paper, a simple shape is chosen, designed and mould is finalized. From casting and then design experiments with the stated parameters, an optimized design values have been obtained. The effects of each design parameter aid us to identify and prioritize them for improvement of the process. This give first rough cut estimate of the variables in sand casting process.

متن کاملEffects of Casting Speed and Runner Angle on Macrosegregation of Aluminium-Copper Alloy.
Abstract During the solidification of binary metal alloys, chemical heterogeneities at product scale over a long distance range (1cm-1m) develop and this has detrimental effect on the resulting mechanical properties of cast products. Macrosegregation is of great concern to alloy manufacturers and end users as this problem persist. In this study, the use of process parameters namely casting spee...

متن کاملEFFECT OF THE INCLINED COOLING PLATE CHARACTERISTICS ON THE THIXOTROPIC MICROSTRUCTURE OF A356.0 ALUMINUM ALLOY
In the present work microstructural evolution of A356 Aluminum alloy using an inclined cooling plate casting process for thixoforming feedstock production is investigated. The resultant microstructure was evaluated and compared with those of the same alloy produced by the conventional casting process, i.e. directly cast in the same mold without using an inclined cooling plate. It was found that...
