IME 5520 - Casting Simulation and Solidification

The process of computer simulation illustrates the way a casting is filled and how the alloy is allowed to cool. By simulating the process conditions to observe 3-D fill and solidification, researchers will be able to predict potential defects in the casting and redesign the process to eliminate the defects, before making actual castings. Activities will compare theory to practice.

Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisite: IME 3520 or previous metal casting experience.

Credits: 3 hours
