Abstract

A numerical simulation of solidification process for AlSi8,7 alloy castings has been carried out. Numerical simulation with experimental temperature gradient and local solidification time have been compared for different boundary condition. A numerical simulation of solidification process have been executed by the program PAMCAST Simulor. The paper presents the investigations results of the temperature gradient distribution during solidification α-phase in the castings.
