POROSITY PREDICTION IN A356 WHEEL CASTING See

A FLUENT(TM)-based thermal-fluid-compositional model has been developed and applied to a low-pressure, die-cast, A356 aluminium alloy wheel to explore the effects of macro-segregation of hydrogen and late-stage liquid encapsulation on pore fo...

Calculation of initial stage of solidified shell deformation during γ to δ transformation in mold. See

Solidification shell deformations within the mold during continuous casting have been calculated in order to clarify the influence of mold flux infiltration variability on the cooling rate, the width of the low heat flux...

A 3D Meso-Scale Solidification Model for Metallic Alloy Using A Volume Average Approach See

A 3D discrete-element model has been developed to simulate the solidification of steel at the meso-scale. The domain consists of a set of equiaxed grains along with the liquid channels, where the fully solid grain shape&#x...

Metallurgical and Mechanical Assessment of Hybrid Additively-Manufactured Maraging Tool Steels via Selective Laser Melting See

A complete metallurgical and mechanical assessment of additively manufactured maraging tool steels has been undertaken, beginning with the initial powder and ending at hybrid builds. The effect of powder recycling on powder characteristi...
