The first and most important step of the casting method is that the liquid metal completely fills the mold cavity. One of the common mistakes in the casting process is that the liquid metal does not fully fill the mold cavity. For this reason, there is a need to improve the fluidity properties of aluminum alloys, the usage area of which is expanding thanks to its many advantageous properties. The aim of this study is to examine the parameters affecting the fluidity in the casting of Al12Si alloy by modeling techniques. The effects of varying pouring height, casting temperature and mold preheating temperature on fluidity in different section thicknesses were investigated in permanent mold casting. A specially designed mold with 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm section thickness was used in the study. Modeling studies were carried out with the FlowCast filling module, which is integrated into the SolidCast Casting simulation program. When the results are examined; It has been determined that all parameters play an active role on fluidity and different filling levels in different section thicknesses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
