The model, based on the commercial finite element package ABAQUS, includes primary cooling to the mould, secondary cooling to water and ingot base cooling. The algorithm used to account for secondary cooling to the water includes boiling curves that are a function of surface temperature, water flow rate and position relative to the point of water impingement. In addition, the secondary cooling algorithm accounts for water ejection, which can occur at low water flow rates (low heat extraction rates). The algorithm used to describe ingot base cooling, includes the drop in contact heat transfer due to base deformation (butt curl) and also the increase in heat transfer due to water incursion between the ingot base and the bottom block. The model has been verified against temperature measurements obtained from two 711×1680 mm AA5182 ingots, cast under different conditions (non-typical “cold” practice and non-typical “hot” practice). Ingot base deflection data has also been obtained for the two test castings. Comparison of the model predictions with the data collected from the embedded thermocouples indicates that a 2-D longitudinal model is capable of describing the flow of heat in the early stages of the casting process in a region close to the centre of the rolling face. A sensitivity analysis completed with the model has clearly identified the link between ingot base cooling and secondary water-cooling heat transfer during the start-up phase.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100798,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Light Metals","volume":"2 3","pages":"Pages 137-148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1471-5317(02)00040-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72106995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SPH method is well established in other areas and is now used for HPDC. The SPH method (in 3D) and the methodology used to represent complex three-dimensional die shapes are described. The use of this SPH system to model the filling of a representative generic HPDC component is presented. The importance of the order of the die filling, first seen in two dimensions, is demonstrated as is the role of flow separation from corners and even moderately curved surfaces. The degree of surface fragmentation, droplet formation and the strongly transient nature of the voidage are also shown. Finally the filling of the runner, gate and die for a real automotive piston head from an automatic transmission is shown and the difficulties inherent in such large scale computations are discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100798,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Light Metals","volume":"2 3","pages":"Pages 169-183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1471-5317(02)00043-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72115973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
