In this study, at the first stage, the rupture criterion of bubbles wall in Aluminum metal foam liquid was investigated by using Lattice Boltzmann. The two phases modeling were accomplished by using a modified Shan-Chen model. This model was run for several bubbles in A356+3wt.%SiC melt system. Then, bubbles morphologies (virtual metallographic) for A356+3wt.%SiC foams were simulated. Results s...

This study deals with the experimental measurements and numerical predictions of alloy shrinkage factors (SFs) related to the investment casting process. The dimensions of the A356 aluminum alloy casting were determined from the numerical simulation results of solidification, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and deformation phenomena. The investment casting process was carried out using wax patte...

Determining alloy shrinkage factors is very important for the investment casting process. Casting dimensions can be obtained from numerical simulations of heat transfer and deformation phenomena. The accuracy of the dimensional results depends on heat transfer results. In order to validate heat transfer models, temperature data were obtained during casting of aluminum alloy A356 in shell molds ...

In this study, corrosion behaviour of A356-10 vol.% SiC composites casted by gravity and squeeze casting is evaluated. For this purpose, prepared samples were immersed in HCl solution for 1h at open circuit potential. Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were carried out to study the corrosion resistance of composites. The Tafel polarization and EIS studies of ...

This paper studies the plastic deformation of a rotating disk made aluminum dispersion-hardened alloys using mechanical tensile tests and structured study optical microscopy methods. Alloys such as AA5056 A356 with dispersed Al3Er TiB2 particles are used initial materials. Tensile strength testing obtained shows that addition in alloy composition leads to an increase its ultimate stress limit (...
