Physical Metallurgy of Direct Chill Casting of Aluminum Alloys

Informationen zum Autor Dmitry G. Eskin Klappentext Drawing directly from the author's own pioneering research! and providing the unique viewpoint of physical metallurgy! this book examines structure and defect formation -- including macrosegregation and hot tearing -- that occurs during direct chill casting. This metallurgic viewpoint! not found in other volumes! is especially useful in connecting the fundamentals of structure formation with the practically observed structure and defect patterns found in billets and ingots. Each technology-centered chapter provides historical background before reviewing current developments. The conclusions are supported with computer simulation results that have been correlated with highly progressive experimental data. Zusammenfassung Examines the formation of a structure, properties, and defects in the as-cast material in tight correlation to the physical phenomena involved in the solidification and the process parameters. This book discusses the fundamentals of solidification together with metallurgical and technological aspects of DC casting. Inhaltsverzeichnis Direct Chill Casting: Development of Technology. Solidification of Aluminum Alloys. Solidification Patterns and Structure Formation during Direct Chill Casting. Macrosegregation. Hot Tearing.
