Forecasting the Structure and the Hindered Contraction of Casts by Using the ProCAST System of Engineering Analysis

Abstract:

The paper presents the methods for forecasting the structure and geometrical parameters of casts by using the ProCAST system of engineering analysis. Based on experimental studies and computer simulation, a regularity between the supercooling rate of aluminium alloy on the one hand and the nucleation rates and crystal growth rates on the other has been established. There have also been established dependencies describing the change in the plasticity modulus, the coefficient of thermal linear expansion, Poisson's coefficient within the temperature range of 20 to 1000°C for cores made from α-set mixture. The computer simulation based on the experimental data of the processing of silumin casts made it possible to forecast the alloy structure with the probability level of 95%, and to calculate the accuracy of hindered contraction of the alloy with accuracy equal to ± 1.5%.
