Abstract

The major requirement of any foundry is to provide the high quality casting products. Since the quality is depended upon thermal stress and solidification of the casting, a thermal analysis is a key area to work on. Heat transfer coefficient is the vital element of any thermal analysis. Mould and the casting interface is the most critical area that gets affected during the solidification. Heat transfer ratio at the inter face will give an explanation about temperature distribution and thermal stress analysis. ANSYS helps to understand the heat flow of casting. The moment when the molten metal solidifies is the most important instant and at that time transient thermal analysis is required to forecast the outcome of the casting solidification and to understand its behaviour. Cite this Article P.
