The rheological behavior of a solidifying alloy is modeled by considering the deforming material as a viscoplastic porous medium saturated with liquid. Since the solid grains in the mush do not form a fully cohesive skeleton, an internal variable that repr ...
Semi-continuous direct-chill (DC) casting of aluminium ingots suffers from a very frequent defect which can lead to a strong decrease in productivity: hot tearing. This phenomenon takes place in the mushy state (i.e., at solid fractions, gs, lower than uni ...
The aims of the preliminary study reported in this document were twofold. Firstly, within the context of the application of UHPFRC for the rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures, to identify the phenomena that require further study with respect t ...
Hot tear formation has been observed during the solidification of a succinonitrile–acetone (SCN-acetone) alloy by pulling the columnar dendrites in the transverse direction with a stick. It is observed that the cracking of the mushy zone (hot tears) always ...
We present the photosensitive flexopolymer PRISM as a new promising material for the realization of thick optical components. The PRISM flexopolymer can be directly polymerized using conventional UV exposure and is simply developed in a water-based solutio ...
In many casting processes, some stages, such as the starting phase in the direct chill casting of aluminium alloys, are particularly critical because of the propensity of some alloys to develop either hot tears which initiate at non zero liquid fraction, o ...
Hot tear is one of the most serious defect which a casting can suffer. It represents a major limitation to the production of foundry cast parts and to the productivity of continuous casting processes such as the direct chiil casting of aluminium alloys. As ...
A comprehensive three-dimensional mathematical model based upon the Abaqus software has been developed for the computation of the thermomechanical state of the solidifying strand during direct chill (DC) casting of rolling sheet ingots and during subsequen ...
The tolerances of semi-continuously cast products of aluminium alloys are very critical if the scalping of the ingot faces is to be minimised before rolling. In the steady state regime of casting, the dimensions of the section of the solidified ingot are l ...
In order to eliminate internal and surface defects, which appear in the ingots during continuous casting of metallic alloys, homogeneous and fine structures are often required. Therefore, when the adjunction of inoculant substances is not possible, the ele ...
