A comprehensive, multiphysics, meshless, numerical model is developed for the simulation
of direct chill casting under the influence of a low-frequency electromagnetic field. The …

Controlling the formation of noncompact second phase particles during direct chill (DC)
casting of aluminium alloys with grain refiner addition remains challenging, as it results in …

The macroscopic multiphase flow and the growth of the solidification microstructures in the
mushy zone of a direct chill (DC) casting are closely coupled. These couplings are the key to …

Directional solidification of Al–14 wt.% Sn alloy was investigated by means of synchrotron X-
radiography at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). The dynamics of the …

Direct chill (DC) casting of aluminum involves alloys employing different solute elements. In
this article, a qualitative analysis and comparison of macrosegregation formation is …

Macrosegregation is a result of the interplay of various transport mechanisms, including
natural convection, solidification shrinkage, and grain motion. Experimental observations …

Studies on direct-chill aluminum casting have typically neglected water losses through
evaporation on the ingot surface. Quantifying water losses in this extremely water-and …

Štore Steel Ltd. is one of the major flat spring steel producers in Europe. Until 2016 the
company used a three-strand continuous casting machine with 6 m radius, when it was …

A two-phase truncated-Scheil-type model is developed for columnar solidification of binary
alloys in the presence of melt convection and liquid undercooling ahead of the primary …

A simplified three-phase, multiscale macrosegregation model which describes the growth
kinetics of equiaxed grains and the coupling between microstructure morphology and the …
