Filling and Solidification Characteristics during Thixoforming of Copper Rotor for the Electrical Motors

Abstract:

Filling and solidification phenomena during thixoforming of copper rotor for small sized induction motors have been analyzed and characterized by experiment and computer simulation. Forming defects in slots of thixoformed rotor were examined by microstructural observation. Most filling and solidification failures were mainly related to complexity in slurry flows through slots in rotor core. Computer simulation with single slot model showed the effects of die temperature and ram speed on the filling characteristics clearly. Simulations with flow guide model showed that the control of filling velocity of slurry at slot and the consideration of possible differences in flow velocity in each slot are important.
