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...

The ICASP conference series is a preeminent forum for researchers to discuss the latest advances and future directions in solidification science . 6th edition was held 20-24 June 2022 at “Le Bischenberg”, Bischoffsheim, on Alsace Wine Route foot of Vosges east France. ICASP-6 covered all aspects research applications related It great opportunity engineers from academia industry exchange recent ...

a full scale physical model of a thin slab caster with a four-hole design submerged entry nozzle (sen) was constructed. on the basis of the dimensionless reynolds and froude similitude criteria, the fluid flow in a full-scale model is similar to that of the actual system and, hence, the data obtained from the water model can be applied to the actual system. in order to determine the optimum ope...

A two-phase solidification model coupling mold electromagnetic stirring (M-EMS) is used to investigate the initial in region of billet continuous casting. One novelty this numerical study quantify how M-EMS induces primary and secondary flows, interacting with jet flows coming from submerged entry nozzle, those further influence dissipation superheat solidification. The role speeding up region,...

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...
