The Use of ADINA Software to Simulate Thixocasting Processes

Abstract:

The main purpose of work was to develop a methodology of physical and numerical simulation of the thixocasting processes. For the purpose of the studies an experiment was conducted using a GLEEBLE 3800 simulator. In this work, the GLEEBLE 3800 system was adapted for physical simulation of the processes of light metal alloy forming in the solid-liquid state. The physical simulations of thixoforming processes and characterization of thixotropic materials were supported by computer simulations using ADINA software. The numerical model of thixoforming processes was developed in order to estimate values of the rheological model parameters.
