Abstract

Sand casting of an aluminium part is studied in the present paper. Simulation is used to diagnose defect formation. Realistic simulation demands proper model setup. Temperature measurements obtained by three thermocouples embedded in the mould were the experimental data used for the validation of casting simulation. Comparison of the experimental with the numerical cooling curves reveals the weakness of the use of one single heat transfer coefficient to effectively reproduce the solidification rate throughout the casting.
