Simulation of solidification process of cast-iron and aluminum materials

Abstract

Abstract Numerical analyse present a proper solution in order to investigate and quantify what is difficult to appreciate during technical processes. The simulated results are very close to those obtained experimentally fact that creates a big advantage in simulation process usage. Parameters like filling time and filling sequence, solidification time and cooling rate were evaluated for two metallic materials. Different dimensions and geometries of applicative elements influence considerably the casting behavior of a material even if the process is realized in the same conditions.
