The End-to-End Simulation of Semi-Continuous Casting and Subsequent Hot Rolling with Account of Microstructure

Abstract

Basing on the developed methodology for data transfer between the ProCAST and Deform-3D software products, which allows exporting geometry, temperature, residual stresses and microstructure of the casting, it is simulated semi-continuous casting of ingots from aluminum alloy 5182 into a direct chill mold and their following hot rolling in a reversing rolling stand to with aim to study microstructure the evolution.
