Abstract:

An investigation of solidification process of as-cast ADC12 aluminum alloy in sand molds with different pouring conditions by temperature field was discussed in the present study. The ADC12 aluminum alloy was investigated in quarzt sand mold and chromite mold using sodium silicate binder with hardening by CO2 gas under atmospheric and low vacuum conditions. Mechanical properties results indicated that a chromites mold under low vacuum condition has the optimal value. Thermal diffusivity was determined by finite difference method. The maximum thermal diffusivity was obtained in a chromite mold under low vacuum condition and correspondence to the minimum solidification time field.
