...Kevin W. Wilcox; A. Gordon L. Holloway; Andrew G. Gerber In the continuous strip casting process a meniscus forms a compliant boundary between the casting nozzle and transporting conveyor. Movement of this meniscus during casting has been shown to create surface defects, which require extensive...

...Sayavur I. Bakhtiyarov This paper presents the results of experimental and numerical studies of the hot distortion phenomenon in the phenolic urethane cold box systems used in metal casting. Dual Pushrod Dilatometry has been used to measure a thermal expansion/contraction of phenolic urethane cold...

...J. Herna´ndez, Professor,; J. Lo´pez, Associate Professor,; F. Faura, Professor,; P. Go´mez, Assistant Professor, The flow in the injection chamber of pressure die casting machines is analyzed using a model based on the shallow-water approximation which takes into account the effects of wave...

...J. Herna´ndez, Professor,; J. Lo´pez, Assistant Professor; F. Faura, Associate Professor The influence of unsteady effects on the evacuation of air through vents in pressure die casting processes is analyzed. A model is proposed which considers the air flow as one-dimensional and adiabatic...

...J. Lo´pez, Assistant Professor,; J. Herna´ndez, Professor,; F. Faura, Associate Professor,; G. Trapaga, Principal Research Associate, An analysis is carried out on the wave formed during the slow phase of die casting injection processes. Viscous effects are assumed to be negligible and the problem...
