유한요소법을 이용한 축대칭 주조의 응고 및 변형공정 해석

The purpare of this research is to develope a FEM program for analyzing solidification processes of axisymmetic casting, considering phase changes and the contact between the metal and mold. Temperture recovery method is employed for considering the phase changes releasing the latent heat. A gap element is employed for modeling the interface between the model and metal in finding deformed shapes. In order to verify the developed program, an axisymmetric aluminum casting processes is simulated. Temperature distribution, phase front position, and shrinkaga and porosity creation are compared with measurement, FIDAP results, and ANSYS results, and good agreements are examined.
