Investigation on Liquid Segregation during Rheo-Casting Process Based on Eulerian-Granular Multiphase Model

Abstract:

A crucial problem concerned with the semi-solid forming process is the liquid segregation phenomena during shape formation, especially for rheo-casting process. Liquid segregation occurs due to the separation phenomena of the solid grain and the liquid phase. In this work, using commercial finite element software, the liquid segregation during rheo-casting process was numerically investigated by Eulerian-granular multiphase model based on the comparable results of single phase model, Eulerian-granular two-phase and three-phase model, along with Eulerian-granular DDPM three-phase model. In the study, solid grains and liquid phases were regarded as rigid material and non-Newtonian fluid at microscale, separately. This validation was experimentally proved and also compared to the proposed relationship of power law, Herschel-Bulkley model with yield stress at macroscale.

Rheology of Semi-Solid Steel Alloys at Temperatures up to 1500°C

Authors: Michael Modigell, Lars Pape, Horst R. Maier

Abstract: The investigation of the flow behavior of semi-solid steel alloys poses a great challenge by reason of high operation temperatures and the need of ceramic components for the measuring system. A high-temperature Couette rheometer has been developed to analyze flow properties of semi-solid alloys up to temperatures of 1500°C. In the present work the alloy under investigation is X210CrW12. Differently performed experiments clearly show its shear-thinning and time-dependent flow properties with a yield stress. This flow behavior is modeled using a Herschel-Bulkley approach where the experimental results achieved serve to identify model parameters.

Behaviour of Semisolid Slurry Flows through a Channel

Authors: Sudip Simlandi, Nilkanta Barman, Himadri Chattaopadhyay

Abstract: In case of metal sheet forming of alloys in semisolid state, modelling of the process is very essential to predict flow behaviour, temperature distribution of the alloy etc. towards improvement of the product quality and to reduce manufacturing costs. Accordingly, the present work develops a model to predict the behaviour during metal sheet forming of an Al-alloy (A356) in semisolid state. The semisolid alloy passes through a rectangular channel having small depth and larger width. The alloy in semisolid state is cooled from the top at a controlled rate. In the model, the respective flow field is represented by the momentum conservation equation. The non-Newtonian behaviour of the semisolid slurry is incorporated considering the Herschel–Bulkley model. The agglomeration and de-agglomeration phenomena of the suspended particles under shear are represented using a time dependent structural parameter. The temperature field is predicted considering the transient energy conservation equation, and hence the fraction of solid is continuously updated. The solution considers an apparent viscosity of the semisolid alloy as a function of structural parameter, shear stress and shear rate. The governing equations are finally solved by finite difference method. The work predicts velocity, temperature and liquid fraction distribution of the semisolid slurry.
