The entrainment of oxide films into the bulk material has been shown to have a detrimental
effect on casting integrity. A number of mechanisms have been shown to initiate the …

Mechanisms governing the nucleation and defect growth during solidification of
undercooled aluminum (Al) in the presence of oxide clusters are studied by molecular …

Turbulent filling of molten metal in sand-casting leads to bi-films, porosity and oxide
inclusions which results in poor mechanical properties and high scrap rate of sand castings …

Components which best utilise the properties of high temperature titanium alloys are
characterised by thin sections of a few millimetres thickness and hundreds of millimetres …

This article provides a general introduction on casting processes and design techniques. It
discusses the process steps and methods of the main categories of shape casting methods …

Centrifugal casting offers one potential route through to high quality products in difficult to
cast high temperature low superheat alloys. The coupling of free surface flows and complex …

This article presents a method for calculation of the complete casting process, including the
pouring of the liquid metal into the mold, its solidification, the deformation of the solidified …

The simulation of low Froude number mould filling problems on fixed meshes presents
significant difficulties. As the Froude number decreases, the coupling between the position …

The vertical centrifugal-casting technique is widely used in the manufacture of various
irregularlyshaped castings of advanced structural alloys with thin walls, complex shapes …

In the continuous casting (CC) mold, a stable meniscus is crucial so the covering slag layer
effectively protects molten steel from oxidation. In practice it is difficult to control due to the …
