Abstract

This research is aimed at revealing the reasons for the extra Co-Cr-Walloy wastage in the risers in sand casting. The alloy filling behaviour in both the original and modified moulds was investigated numerically. The alloy-air interface was captured by using Volume of Fraction method. For the origin...
