209/1 Prediction of Shrinkage Defect in Steel Casting for Marine Engine Cylinder Cover by Numerical Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shrinkage defect in an alloy steel casting for marine engine cylinder cover was estimated by numerical analysis with reference to casting variables such as riser and chiller. Retained melt modulus was employed as a prediction parameter in this study. Shrinkage defects were developed at the final solidification region. This is associated with hot spots, which could be controlled more effectively by adjusting the height of riser and by attaching chiller to the casting outside. Based on the numerical analysis, sound castings were produced successfully and economically.

Numerical modeling of porosity and macrosegregation in continuous casting of steel
1 ABSTRACT The continuous casting process is a widely used technique in modern steel plants. However, it is a complicated process that is not well understood. The objective of this research is to model the porosity and macrosegregation due to shrinkage related effects and solid deformation in the continuous casting of steel. Solid phase movements due to bulging and variable roll gap are modeled...

The effective shear and bulk viscosity, as well as dynamic viscosity, describe the rheological properties of the ceramic body during the liquid phase sintering process. The rheological parameters depend on the physical and thermo-mechanical characteristics of the material such as relative density, temperature, grain size, diffusion coefficient, and activation energy. Thermal behavior of the cer...
