Improving the quality of cast blanks by applying force to the solidifying metal

Year: 2025

Abstract: In the course of the research, the authors studied the formation of structures of cast blanks on various alloys, depending on the conditions of metal crystallization, including under the influence of vibration. An analysis of the structures of the control samples (blanks) confirmed that solidification under normal conditions occurs mainly according to the sequential crystallization scheme, as evidenced by the width of the structural zones in them. The external vibration effect on solidifying alloys leads to a significant change in the conditions of their crystallization, in particular, to a significant grinding of the macrostructure of the workpieces and a change in the size of the structural zones, which indicates a volume-sequential scheme of their crystallization. It is established that vibration increases the physico-mechanical properties of cast metal and significantly reduces their anisotropy over the section of the workpieces.
