Pulling together information previously scattered throughout
numerous research articles into one detailed resource, Physical
Metallurgy of Direct Chill Casting of Aluminum Alloys connects the
fundamentals of structure formation during solidification with the
practically observed structure and defect patterns in billets and
ingots. The author examines the formation of a structure,
properties, and defects in the as-cast material in tight
correlation to the physical phenomena involved in the
solidification and the process parameters.
The book draws on the author's advanced research to provide a
unique application of physical metallurgy to direct chill (DC)
casting technology. He examines structure and defect formation-
including macrosegregation and hot tearing. Each
technology-centered chapter provides historical background before
reviewing current developments. The author supports his conclusions
with computer simulation results that have been correlated with
highly progressive experimental data. He presents a logical system
of structure and defect formation based on the specific features of
the DC casting process. He also demonstrates that the seemingly
controversial results reported in literature are, in fact, caused
by the different ratio of the same mechanisms.
Compiling recent results and data, the book discusses the
fundamentals of solidification together with metallurgical and
technological aspects of DC casting. It gives new insight and
perspective into DC casting research.
