Research Abstract |
The fluidity length of aluminum alloy ADC12 was investigated experimentally by using suction tests under various suction pressure, molten metal temperature and cavity thickness conditions. Numerical simulations were also conducted under various conditions to investigate the fluidity length of aluminum alloy ADC12 and magnesium alloy AZ91D. Comparisons between experimental and numerical results revealed that the suitable value of the thermal resistance between the mold surface and the molten metal is about 3.3 mm2 K/W for aluminum alloy ADC12, and 5.8 mm2 K/W for magnesium alloy AZ91D.
