Course Objectives
Analysis of near net shape casting process in terms of basic conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer models by analytical techniques. Apply combined analytical heat transfer formulation models to each near net shape casting processes Understand mathematical models developed and published in papers on modeling of near net shape casting processes by many different authors Understand the limit of each process in terms of thickness and alloy characteristics.
Course Content
The methods for manufacturing small section products such as strip, fibre, flake, wire directly from molten metal. Spray rolling, the Taylor wire process, melt spinning, melt overflow, melt drag, melt extraction, double roll quenching, thin slab casting (belt drive) and laser glaze process. Mass and heat flow analysis. Alloy design, dimensional control. Alloy parameters such as melt delivery speed, viscosity and surface tension.
Course Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to analyze different near net shape casting process in terms of heat transfer and mass flow principles. The product formation and thickness formulation can be calculated using analytical techniques. Process components and system analysis for each process will be obtained
