Abstract:With the advent of various casting process simulation techniques, it is possible to derive theoretically casting parameters, which can be further validated through experiments. In this paper, detailed simulation activities are carried out to determine the shrinkage characteristics of two Al-Si alloys (US 413 and US A356) followed by validation through experimental studies. Production of defect-free castings requires good understanding of shrinkage characteristics. The influence of various process parameters on… Show more
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.
