Study of Thermal Gradient on Porosity Formation in A201 Aluminum Alloy Plate Castings

Abstract:

This study is to with system change the riser size and the casting geometry to find out the relation between thermal gradient and porosity formation in A201 aluminum alloy plate casting, which is discussed in this study. The results show that the porosity content was found to be relevant to the thermal gradient and riser system. The larger the thermal gradient (G), the lower the porosity content was found in this study.
