The mechanism and causes of the formation of casting defects, manifested in the deviation of the geometry of the internal cavities from the «cylindrical», are investigated. It is shown that the causes of distortion of the geometric shape are associated with deformation of the casting rod during thermal and mechanical interaction with the melt. Using the possibilities of computer simulation in the MAGMASOFT package, the temperature distributions of the metal in the casting body during the casting and solidification were analyzed. Areas of distortion of the geometric shape of the inner part of the casting correspond to the area of the rod subjected to the highest and longest thermal loads. The characteristics of the temperature fields in the respective zones indicate overheating of individual areas of the rod to temperatures causing phase stresses in the structure of the core mixture, sufficient for the occurrence of deformations in it. To eliminate the defect under consideration, two approaches were used to reduce the magnitude of phase stresses in the casting rod and to adjust the design of the rod tooling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
