Semi-Solid Casting (SSM) is a new process that could produce globular structures with mechanical properties. The cooling slope method (CLM) is a one of this process that was employed to produce the A360 feedstock. In this method, The dendritic primary phase in the conventionally cast A356 alloy has transformed into a non-dendritic one. In this paper, The molten alloy with the temperature (PT) o...

Abstract Investment casting has long been known as a process that can produce complex parts with fine details. However, it not used widely for need to be anodized and whose nonuniform color is affected by the type of cast aluminum. Although 6063 aluminum in anodizing decoration purposes, almost entirely wrought. Some studies have aluminum, but no investment reported. The objective this work dev...

The behaviour of granular solid-liquid mixtures is key when deforming a wide range of materials from cornstarch slurries to soils, rock and magma flows. Here we demonstrate that treating semi-solid alloys as a granular fluid is critical to understanding flow behaviour and defect formation during casting. Using synchrotron X-ray tomography, we directly measure the discrete grain response during ...

Commercialization of the developed technology is a prime factor for any nation and sector to retain its existence in this global economy. Day by day technological advancement touching new high various sectors like automobile aircraft industries but design efficiency achieved only when it complemented appropriate material. In list newer addition MMCs (Metal Matrix Composites) which are favorable...

In this study, a mathematical model is introduced to simulate the coupled heat transfer equation and Stefan condition occurring in moving boundary problems such as the solidification process in the continuous casting machines. In the continuous casting process, there exists a two-phase Stefan problem with moving boundary. The control-volume finite difference approach together with the boundary ...

Continuous casting is used to mass produce basic metals into long, semi-finished shapes with constant cross section, which are later processed into over 800 million tons of steel, 20 million tons of aluminum, and 1 million tons of copper, nickel, and other metal products in the world each year. Cross-sections can be rectangular, for later rolling into plate or sheet, square for long products, c...
