Mathematical modelling of heat transfer in the vacuum investment casting of superalloy IN718

Heat transfer in vacuum investment casting of a nickel-based superalloy, 1N718, was studied using a finite-element-based solidification heat transfer code. For the external radiation boundary, general 2- and 3-dimensional viewfactor calculation codes based on a ray tracing approach were developed...
