Helium Assisted Sand Casting of Aluminum AlloysSaleem, Muhammad Qaiser 28 April 2011 (has links)
Sand casting is the most widely used casting process for both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys; however, the process is marred by large grain size structures and long solidification times. The coarser microstructure has a negative effect on the mechanical properties of the cast components and the long processing time affects the overall productivity of the process. The research reported herein addresses these problems for aluminum sand castings by enhancing the rate of heat extraction from the casting by replacing air, which is typically present in the pores of the sand mold and has a relatively low thermal conductivity by helium which has a thermal conductivity that is at least five times that of air in the temperature range of interest. The effect of (1) the flow rate of helium, (2) the way in which it is introduced into the mold, and (3) the mold design on (a) the average grain size, (b) the secondary dendrite arm spacing, and (c) the room temperature tensile properties of castings is investigated and compared to their counterparts produced in a typical sand casting process. In addition, a cost analysis of the helium-assisted sand casting process is performed and an optimum set of parameters are identified. It is found that when the helium-assisted sand casting process is performed with close to the optimum parameters it produces castings that exhibit a 22 percent increase in ultimate tensile strength and a 34 percent increase in yield strength with no significant loss of ductility, no degradation in the quality of the as-cast surfaces, and no significant increase in the overall cost.

Modeling of an Aerospace Sand Casting ProcessZiolkowski, Joseph Edmund 23 December 2002 (has links)
"Theoretical issues relating to the aerospace sand casting simulation are laid out, identifying parameters used in the model. A sensitivity analysis is performed to examine the mold-metal heat transfer coefficient, mold thermal conductivity, wall friction factor, pouring basin pour temperature, and pouring basin head pressure through doing coupled flow simulations on thin-walled castings using the commercial casting simulation software, MAGMASOFT. A verification exercise is done to match simulation with reality with the knowledge that mold-metal heat transfer coefficient and mold thermal conductivity are the most influential parameters of the five. Validation on a real production casting is performed using the tuned parameters from the verification exercise."

A System for Detecting the Position of a Molten Aluminum Metal-Front within a Precision Sand MoldFoley, Brian M. 10 January 2009 (has links)
Manufacturers of cast metal parts are interested in the development of a feedback control system for use with the Precision Sand-Casting (PSC) process. As industry demands the ability to cast more complex geometries, there are a variety of challenges that engineers have to address. Certain characteristics of the mold, such as thick-to-thin transitions, extensive horizontal or flat surfaces, and sharp corners increase the likelihood of generating defective casts due to the turbulent metal-flow during fills. Consequently, it is critical that turbulent flow behavior within the mold be minimized as much as possible. One way to enhance the quality of the fill process is to adjust the flow rate of the molten metal as it fills these critical regions of the mold. Existing systems attempt to predict the position of the metal level based on elapsed time from the beginning of the fill stage. Unfortunately, variability in several aspects of the fill process makes it very difficult to consistently predict the position of the metal front. A better approach would be to embed a sensor that can detect the melt through a lift-off distance and determine the position of the metal-front. The information from this sensor can then be used to adjust the flow rate of the aluminum as the mold is filled. This thesis presents the design of a novel non-invasive sensor monitoring system. When deployed on the factory floor, the sensing system will provide all necessary information to allow process engineers to adjust the metal flow-rate within the mold and thereby reduce the amount of scrap being produced. Moreover, the system will exhibit additional value in the research and development of future mold designs.
