Thermal analysis of the startup phase for D.C. casting of an AA5182 aluminum ingot
The evolution of temperature and stress during the start-up phase of the direct chill (D.C.) casting process has been studied to determine the factors that make this phase of the process prone to surface crack generation. The analysis was carried out principally using a finite element based heat f...
