Examination and Simulation of Silicon Macrosegregation in A356 Wheel Casting

Macrosegregation is commonly seen and has been extensively studied in large ingots in a variety of alloy systems. In comparison, this defect is rarely investigated in small aluminum shape castings. To address this shortcoming, a numerical model was developed to investigate silicon macrosegregation d...
