Prediction of Hot Tear Formation in Vertical DC Casting of Aluminum Billets Using a Granular Approach
Abstract
A coupled hydromechanical granular model aimed at predicting hot tear formation and stress–strain behavior in metallic alloys during solidification is applied to the semicontinuous direct chill casting of aluminum alloy round billets. This granular model consists of four separate three-dimensional (3D) modules: (I) a solidification module that is used for generating the solid–liquid geometry at a given solid fraction, (II) a fluid flow module …
