Numerical Studies of Batch and Inline High Shear Melt Conditioning Technology Using Different Rotors

When casting aluminum alloy billets, high shear melt conditioning (HSMC) technology refines the resulting grain size, reduces number of defects, and improves mechanical properties without need to add polluting expensive chemical refiners. These resultant improvements spring from rates that develop in rotor–stator gap stator holes facing leading edge rotor. Despite growing literature on mixing, it is unclear how different parameters affect performance treatment. To upscale this apply processes involve large volumes, an understanding design crucial. In paper, we present results computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies continuous batch modes with rotor designs. build upon our earlier work by studying effect variation a consisting rows small apertures at speeds spanning 1000 10,000 revolutions per minute. While no clear-cut linear pattern emerges for (as function parameters), geometry found distributive mixing microparticles, but insignificant regards their disintegration.
