SUMMARY:Ingot casting - powder/liquid metal interaction during pouring
DESCRIPTION:During the ingot casting, several kinds of particles can appear or be introduced in the cavity by the bucket. Lots of different reasons can explain this kind of foreigner bodies in the ingot. Some of them come from the liquid metal initially in the foundry bucket, the sand mold interaction, the riser or the slag interaction. These oxides particles, sand particles or other kind of inclusions could induce issue of metallurgical health of the ingot after cooling but also in the forward steps.
It’s why lot of scientific projects are working on the slag/liquid metal interaction, entrapment of powder and all kind of defects and inclusions. Some embedded abrasive and inclusion generation models are already available in the state of the art and already used in our THERCAST® solution. We can also introduce different kind of particles (size, density) and follow their trajectories during the pouring.

The main idea is to provide an appropriate software able to anticipate each inclusion generation and tracking at the end of the ingot casting process. Thanks to the global ‘End-to-End’ process simulation approach offered by Transvalor platform, it is possible to estimate the consequences during the next step of the metal transformation (forging, heat treatment).
This presentation will show us how THERCAST® manage this kind of phenomena and the integrated physical models.
