Abstract |
|
Experimental study of solidification phenomenon by plotting time temperature curve has been studied in the present work. Solid cylinder as a casting part has been considered. Pure aluminium as molten metal and green sand as mould cavity material have been adopted. Wood as pattern material has considered. K-type thermocouple has been utilized to measure and collect the temperatures data. Sand casting is one of oldest and ancient manufacturing process. In casting process molten metal is poured in previously prepared mould cavity. Casting solidification process is divide into three steps: (i) Liquefaction (ii) During solidification (iii) After solidification. Thermocouple at two boundary points for generation of solidification curve have considered. Results indicate that aluminium melts around 660-650ËšC.K-type thermocouple found to be good for recording the temperature data. |
