Numerical Simulation of Shrinkage Porosity during Casting Process

Abstract

At present the production paradigm undergoes a fundamental change when testing of actual units involving castings manufacturing gives way to digital simulation which allows to overcome constraints intrinsic to the traditional methods of trials and errors. This article presents the work on numerical study and prediction of shrinkage porosity in Nickel alloys castings made by precision casting method for further comparison of simulation results with the size of flaws produced during actual hardware testing.
