Experimental investigation and numerical modeling of microporosity formation in aluminum alloy A356

Microporosity refers to small voids in the material in the size range from a few to hundreds of micrometers. These small voids can reduce the fatigue performance of the cast components. In the foundry industry, numerous efforts have been made to predict and control microporosity formation. The pres...
