Casting of Titanium Alloys in Centrifugal Induction Furnaces

Abstract: This paper discusses technical problems related with casting of titanium alloys in centrifugal vacuum furnaces. The potentials of an analysis of the centrifugal casting process carried out in the Flow3D software CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) were presented. Simulations were carried out on a model set, which enables casting of two connecting rods for an I.C. engine. Changes in the mould filling process were examined for the three selected spinning velocities of the casting arm. The ranges of the metal flow… Show more

“…The printed patterns were used in the development and assembly of experimental casting sets of the geometry tested with the use of Flow-3D software. The use of centrifugal force in the process of filling the mould cavity with molten metal can significantly speed up this process, and consequently improve the accuracy of castings [8,9]. The value of centripetal acceleration of 20 g is obtained at the crucible outlet distant from the axis of rotation by 0.24 m and at the arm rotational speed equal to 270 rpm/min.…”
