Abstract

A solidification model of coarsening coefficient for the criterion of secondary dendrite arm spacing has been established in this paper. When the model is applied to aluminum cast alloy, it is found that the model is in good agreement with the experiment results. Experiments and analysis show that addition of some chemical elements is conducive to the refinement of the secondary dendrite arm spacing under the same solidification condition. Different chemical elements have different refining effects, and Zr and Ti have better refining effect on A357 aluminum cast alloy than Cu.
