Abstract

Computer-aided cooling curve analysis (CACCA), known for its reliability and simplicity was used to study the material properties of manganese bronze (MAB) alloy. MAB alloy, due to its high strength and corrosion resistance, is a staple material for marine applications. Since the alloy is difficult to machine, non-heat treatable, and complex to fabricate, casting is the only cost-effective process of producing products of the material. As the literature is scant on the MAB’s high-temperature properties, this study is aimed at determining the thermo-physical properties of the alloy required for casting simulation by carrying out Newtonian and Fourier analysis of the recorded temperature of the solidifying alloy from liquidus state.
