Abstract
Casting aluminum alloys is widely used in aerospace, rail transportation, automotive, ships, and other fields. The frozen sand mold casting (FSMC) technology provides a greener and low-cost solution for the sand mold casting industry, which has a better operating environment than the resin sand mold casting and a higher degree of subcooling for solidification process. The interfacial heat transfer coefficient (IHTC) is a significant parameter that affects the structure and properties of the frozen casting. It is also an important boundary condition in numerical simulation. In this paper, a frozen sand mold casting (FSMC) process thermal conductivity problem (IHCP) inversion model is proposed based on the 1-D heat transfer assumption using a combination of finite difference method (FDM) and conjugate gradient method (CGM). The inversion model is validated for its rationality and accuracy in terms of experiments and numerical calculations, respectively. The IHTC is determined under various frozen sand mold casting conditions, including different initial frozen temperatures, water contents, and molding sand. The accuracy of results is verified by comparing the experimental and numerical data. A new method is provided for determining IHTC in frozen casting.
