Abstract:
Hot tears are unacceptable defects, which can be found in final steel casting products. It is believed that a hot tear forms at the mushy zone with a high fraction of solid due to an applied tensile strain. In this work the simulation of the solidification and deformation processes are carried out using commercial software combined with a user-defined constitutive model. The shrinkage porosity information is coupled to the constitutive deformation model in the solid state to calculate the materials damage, where a viscoplastic model can predict the hot tear formation in permanent mold steel alloy casting. A good correlation between experimental findings and predicted damage is observed.
