Description
Summary:Thermodynamic data is made use of in calculating fraction of metal solidified in solidification simulation. However, thermodynamic data for many industrial alloys in their solidification ranges are not available for most practicing engineers. It is thus desirable to develop reliable equations that can be used in calculation fraction of metal solidified for solidification simulation. This work has developed an equation to calculate fraction of metal solidified for AlSi7Mg alloy solidifying under fast cooling conditions using generated values from thermodynamic data.
