Hot tearing is one of the most severe and irreversible casting defects for many metallic
materials. In 2004, Eskin et al. published a review paper in which the development of hot …

Over the last 4 decades, remarkable progress has been made in the modelling of casting
processes. The development of casting models is well reflected in the proceedings of the 15 …

Pulling together information previously scattered throughout numerous research articles into
one detailed resource, this book connects the fundamentals of structure formation during …

Predicting the occurrence of hot tears in the direct-chill (DC) casting of aluminum alloys by
numerical simulation is a crucial step for avoiding such defects. In this study, eight hot …

Hot tearing and as-cast porosity are the two defects which impede the performance of cast
products. The effect of porosity on hot tearing was investigated using a novel semi-solid …

A new criterion for the appearance of hot tears in metallic alloys is proposed. This model
introduces a critical solid fraction (fcr) to simulate feeding. A hot-cracking sensitivity (HCS) …

A numerical investigation of thermal evolution in a direct chill casting of an Al–4% Cu alloy
using a code friendly version of the low-Re turbulence model was reported. Detailed …

Experimental techniques remain reliable approaches for investigating the effects of
parameters of the direct chill (DC) casting process on macrosegregation, grain structure …

The present work has been conducted in order to develop a novel solution for the transient
heat transfer problem during the startup phase of a direct-chill casting (DCC) process by …

The study of macrosegregation for different dendritic arm spacing, casting temperature, and
cooling conditions in a Direct-Chill (DC) casting was investigated in the present study. The …
