Abstract

The current work introduces a new process ultrasonicated direct chill clad casting (UDCC) and discusses a computational fluid dynamics model of combined solidification of AZ31 alloy billet with A356 alloy as cladding, using ANSYS. The geometry, boundary conditions and casting parameters considered in the present work are of industrial scale. Computations were performed at various casting speeds to understand the profiles of the temperature, clad interface and solid fraction. The solidification phenomena of direct chill clad casting process (DCC) and UDCC were critically discussed herein.
