Monitoring the Dimensional Changes of Castings in the Process of Solidification
نویسنده
چکیده
The article deals with measurements of linear changes of castings from foliated graphite cast iron and Al-alloys during their solidification. For this purpose the measuring apparatus, which applies a dilatometer of Polish provenience, was built up. Dilatation curves of graphite cast iron and Al-alloys were acquired during the casting process. In the case of Al-alloys the influence of chemical composition and metallurgical treatment (use of refining salts) on linear changes during solidification and on the dimension of shrinkage originating was observed.

Three-dimensional Numerical Simulation of Metal Flow and Solidification in the Multi-cavity Casting Moulds of Automotive Components
The liquid metal flow and the solidification behaviours in a multi-cavity casting mould of two automotive cast parts were simulated in three dimensions. The commercial code, FLOW-3D® was used because it can track the front of the molten metal by a Volume of Fluid (VOF) method and allows complicated parts to be modeled by the Fractional Area/Volume Obstacle Representation (FAVOR) meth...
متن کاملSolidification and thermal performance analysis of the low carbon steel during the continuous casting process
The present paper evaluates the effect of the nozzle characteristics on the heat transfer and phase change of the low carbon steel during the continuous casting process. A three-dimensional energy equation and a solidification model are used to drive the governing equation of the phase change and temperature distribution. A linear relation is obtained to predict the temperature-dependent of the...

Introduction: Dimensional changes in acrylic patterns during laboratory process to fabricate casting are an important issue which could lead to many clinical consequences. Microleakage, lack of retention and fitness are few of problems which could be predicted in the case of dimensional changes in acrylic patterns. So, investigating the factors which could minimize the dimensional change is nec...
