C-DC and MC-DC Casting of Al-alloys-A Comsol Approach

Present work endeavours to understand the solidification behaviour in conventional direct chill casting (C-DC) of aluminium alloy billets. The simulations were generated for C-DC and MC-DC (melt-conditioned) processes. For the first time, COMSOL Multiphysics has been successfully used to simulate th...
