Physical and computational models of free surface related defects in low-pressure die-cast aluminum alloy wheels

The difference of die filling, which can be characterized by the free surface flow behavior, has a strong influence on the quality of casting components. In the case of cast aluminum alloy wheels, an undesired filling pattern with excessive turbulence can cause portions of the surface oxide film to...
