摘要:
AbstractI t has been common practice to use mould withdrawal unidirectional solidification to produce single crystal castings. To grow single crystals successfully, it is important to control several solidification parameters, such as the morphology of the solidification front (solid/liquid interface), thermal gradient, and growth rate during solidification. It is the aim of this study to develop a solidification model that can predict such solidification parameters for various design and operating conditions. The solidification phenomena in the process modelled are basically controlled by two heat transfer mechanisms: conduction and radiation. A set of heat transfer equations and boundary conditions were employed to describe mathematically the heat transfer phenomena. Then the finite difference method was used numerically to solve these equations for specified boundary conditions to obtain the temperature distribution and temperature variation in the casting. The solidification parameters can subsequently be deduced from these temperature data. Several thin plate castings were tested using the model developed. The following design and operating conditions were evaluated: susceptor temperature (power input), withdrawal speed, changes of cross-sectional area in the casting, and geometrical arrangement of the casting tree.MST/1422
