Abstrakt

In casting process, molten metal is solidified in mould cavity. Solidification process majorly classify into three different sections: (i) liquefaction (ii) solidify (iii) after solidification. In all three processes, one parameter which is called 'IHTC' (Intermediate Heat Transfer Coefficient), is varies with time. IHTC coefficient depends on shape, size, type of casting etc., so, it is continuously varies with all dependent functions. So, establishment of IHTC value is a very difficult task and hot cake between researchers. Various methods are available for establishment of IHTC value, like inverse method. In this study we establish IHTC value via inverse methodology. Solid cylinder of ADC 12 Material and sand casting process taken as part of analysis. K-type thermocouple and Autonix temperature indicator are used for temperature measurement. ADC 12 (Al alloys) material is used in various application such as automotive transmission system, escalator steps barbeque covers, oil pumps. Pro cast is used for simulation purpose. After complete experiment and simulation we are establishing IHTC value which is 2000 w/m2-k.  Cite this Article Dharmesh Barodiya, Mahajan MD, Shaheen Beg Mughal.
