摘要:

本文模拟了等轴晶Fe-0.8wt%C合金凝固过程中宏观偏析的形成。基于两相体积元平均技术,计算了凝固过程中传热、对流、成分分布、形核和晶粒生长。设计了弱耦合算法求解守恒方程。模拟了冷却速度,形核密度,热对流和溶质对流相对强度改变对宏观偏析形成的影响。计算结果表明,增大冷速有助于成分的均匀化;增大形核密度会减小宏观偏析;热对流和溶质对流之间的相对强度决定通道偏析形成的方向。

Abstract:

Macrosegregation in Fe-0.8 wt pct C alloy solidifying with equiaxed morphology was numerically simulated. Based on a two-phase volumetric averaging approach, heat transfer, melt convection, composition distribution, nucleation and grain evolution on the system scale were described. A weak-coupling numerical procedure was designed to solve conservation equations. Simulations were conducted to study the effects of cooling rate and nuclei density on the macrosegregation pattern. The relative influence of thermal buoyancy- and solutal buoyancy-induced flows on macrosegregation was identified. Calculated results indicate that a higher cooling rate establishes a more homogeneous composition. More uniform solute distributions are formed with increasing nuclei density. In addition, it is noted that the direction of channel segregates depends on the relative strength of thermal and solutal buoyancy forces.
