Numerical modelling and experimental validation of the effect of ultrasonic melt treatment in a direct-chill cast AA6008 alloy billet
In this work, we study how ultrasonic cavitation melt treatment (UST) affects the temperature distribution, sump profile, and resulting microstructure in the direct-chill (DC) casting of an AA6008 aluminum alloy. Two 152 mm diameter billets were cast; one was treated with UST (UST-DC casting) in the...
