Modeling of Casting, Welding, and Advanced Solidification Processes-X

Download or read book Modeling of Casting, Welding, and Advanced Solidification Processes-X written by Doru Michael Stefanescu and published by Minerals, Metals, & Materials Society. This book was released on 2003 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest in a series of proceedings from conferences sponsored by Engineering Conferences International (formerly the Engineering Foundation), this volume captures the current state of the art in the field of mathematical modeling of casting and welding processes. This edition deals with such traditional issues as microstructure formation, mushy zone rheology, segregation, microporosity, and thermo-mechanical simulation, as well as new themes reflecting industrial needs, including simulation of melting and solid separation in the melt (inclusion removal) and simulation of aggregate and porous materials (mold and core simulation). This book contains 90 papers as well as abstracts of invited talks. The proceedings focus primarily on the continuous development of tools for simulation of microstructure evolution, database and critical experiments, and shaped-casting simulation.
