Journal ArticleDOI
Thermomechanics of the cooling stage in casting processes : three-dimensional finite element analysis and experimental validation
Michel Bellet,Florent Decultieux,Mamar Ménaï,François Bay,Christophe Levaillant,Jean-Loup Chenot,Pål Schmidt,Ingvar L Svensson +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermomechanical finite element analysis of solidification is presented based on a multidomain analysis accounting for non-coincident meshes for the cast part and the different mold components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat transfer during filling in die casting processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the heat transfer coefficient, h, during die filling has been measured for various die surfaces and it has been found that h varies strongly with the porosity of the surface, giving rise to an insulating air film at the interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mushy state behavior : rheological characterization and influence on air gap formation
Patrice Vicente-Hernandez,Florent Decultieux,Pål Schmidt,Ingvar L Svensson,Christophe Levaillant +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a new methodology which consists in associating a simple test geometry (needle indentation test), able to prduce the suitable strains and strain rates, with an FEM analysis of the induced flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the correlation between microstructural parameters and the thermo-mechanical fatigue performance of cast iron
TL;DR: In this paper, a strain-controlled out-of-phase thermo-mechanical fatigue test at 100-500 °C and various strain ranges were conducted on five cast iron grades, including one lamellar, three compacted and one spheroidal graphite iron.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermo-mechanical fatigue of grey cast iron for cylinder heads - Effect of niobium, molybdenum and solidification time
TL;DR: In this article, grey iron alloyed with molybdenum and niobium in seven different compositions has been casted using three, in industrial components viable, solidification times which resulted in 21 different sampl...
