Abstract

Both computational and experimental methods were employed to study the behavior of melt flow and distribution of primary Si particles of B390 aluminum. The rotational frequency of the mold has a dominant effect on the melt flow and distribution of primary Si particles. As the rotational frequency of the mold increased, the speed of melt flow increased, leading to a turbulent flow. The numerical estimation of 1200 rpm rotational frequency for the homogeneous distribution of primary Si particles across the wall of the cylinder showed good consistency with the experiment results. As the rotational frequency of the mold increased, the functionally graded materials (FGM) microstructure of Si particles was more evident toward the inner side of the cylinder.
