Abstract

The present investigation attempted to explore the effect of stirring during solidification of Aluminum A356 alloy, mainly focusing on the change from dendrite to globular structure. For this purpose samples of A356 alloy were melted in the electrical resistance furnace and cooling curves were recorded for each level agitation. The experimental curves were numerically processed by calculating first and second derivatives. From these were determined temperatures and times of start nucleation of alpha solid and eutectic reaction.
