Effect of Solidification Parameters on the Feeding Efficiency of Lm6 Aluminium Alloy Casting
نویسنده
چکیده
Now a days, significant amount of aluminium alloy are being used to fabricate components such as engine blocks, cylinder heads, suspension control arms, wheels and pistons. In response to consumer demands for the increase in performance, the use of aluminium has grown dramatically in the recent years. So in order to produce a sound LM6 (Al-12%Si) Aluminium alloy casting, a new approach is made in this work. Plate casting of dimension 240x150x25 mm is employed with the combination of different riser dimensions. Cylindrical riser of hemispherical bottom with H/D=1 are taken for this analysis. Solidification simulation is made with ANSYS software, then the solidification time and optimal riser diameters are compared with experimental results.

Effects 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 کاملStudy on Solidification Behavior of Aluminium alloy (LM6) Castings by using Computer aided Simulation software
Method layout of a casting is an important aspect of tooling development. It involves decisions regarding part orientation in mould, parting line, cores, cavity layout, feeders, neck and gating system. An improper method layout leads either poor quality or low yield, which affects the productivity. Method design is mostly carried out manually, using 2D drawing of the cast part. Then tooling is ...
