Vacuum arc remelting is a process for producing homogeneous ingots of reactive and macrosegregation-sensitive alloys. A mathematical model of the transport phenomena in the ingot melt is presented together with a discussion of the various simplifying assumptions and approximations that make the prob

โฆ Synopsis
Finite element algorithms are presented for the entire casting process from the mould รฟlling stage to the prediction of the รฟnal distorted shape. The various algorithms available in the literature for solidiรฟcation modelling are discussed in detail. Special emphasis is given to the coupling of the solidiรฟcation analysis based on the heat conduction equation with uid ow or thermal stress analysis. Finally, some results are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of the numerical models.

When a metal matrix composite (MMC) is cooled down from the fabrication or annealing temperature to room temperature, residual stresses are induced in the composite due to the mismatch of the thermal expansion coe cients of the matrix and reinforcement.

In this work we present a รฟnite element formulation to simulate the รฟlling of thin moulds. The model has as starting point a 3-D approach using either div-stable elements, such as the Q2=P1 element (tri-quadratic velocities and piecewise linear, discontinuous pressures) or stabilized รฟnite element f
