Thermal simulations for the prediction of porosity in investment castings for stellite grade superalloys

A computer model was constructed and run to predict the thermal history of a Stellite alloy investment casting prone to the formation of microporosity. The thermal history of the casting was utilized to calculate the thermal gradient at a specified temperature, the rate of cooling during solidifi...
