Abstract

For simulations of misrun formations in castings, the critical fraction solid (FScr) at which the melt flow stopped in the mold is required. In this work, FScr for Al–Si alloys was obtained by comparing the simulated spiral fluidity test lengths at different FScr values with experimental ones casted into graphite and sand molds. The dendrite coherency temperature was obtained via thermal analysis, and the dendrite coherency fraction solid (FScoh) was calculated using the Thermo-Calc software. It was established that FScr and FScoh for Al–Si alloys are very similar, allowing the use of FScoh for casting process simulations instead of FScr.
