Literature Survey on Porosity and Microporosity in Cast Irons Related to Expansion and Gas Entrapment Phenomena

Article Preview

Abstract:

Macro and microporosity in castings are a problem that persists at many foundries, despite the use of advance simulation software’s. This fact indicates that other parameters rather then the casting shape/design or the “standard” metallurgical characteristics are not properly controlled, considered or modelled in the solidification simulation. In this paper we present the Phase I of a research project, which consists on a bibliographic review of the previous attempts to evaluate the relationship between solidification sequence and the measurement of expansion of molten metal during eutectic solidification and is relation to porosity and shrinkage defects.
