Solidification Simulation of Al-Si Alloys with Dendrite Tip Undercooling
Abstract
A novel solution approach is proposed for the numerical simulation of the solidification process of binary Al-Si hypoeutectic alloys during upward and downward solidification modes. Undercooling is always observed during solidification, but the phenomenon could not be considered in the present-day numerical solution. In this approach, the temperature distribution in the mushy zone was used to define the fraction of solid, which enabled the …
