In Situ Strain Measurements during Casting Using Neutron Diffraction

Article Preview

Abstract:

Composite castings exhibit high residual stresses, mainly because of different thermal expansion of the used materials. Similar to the in-cast cylinder liners in a motor block, a composite specimen, consisting of a steel insert and an aluminum cast surrounding, was analyzed by neutron diffraction. The temperature- and time-dependent change of lattice spacing and thus the strain evolution was investigated by in-situ experiments directly after casting and during the cooling of the part. Different cooling conditions were investigated using two different molds, namely a sand and a permanent (steel) mold, optimized for in-situ neutron diffraction.
