Shailesh, Rao, A.Tattimani, M.S.Rao, S.S.2020-03-312020-03-312015Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B: Process Metallurgy and Materials Processing Science, 2015, Vol.46, 2, pp.793-799https://idr.nitk.ac.in/handle/123456789/10841The flow of molten metal plays a crucial role in determining casting quality. During rotation of the mold, melt flow around its inner circumference determines the final configurations and properties of the cast tube. In this paper, Al-2Si alloy is cast in the vertical mold at the various rotational speeds of the mold. The uniform cylinder tube is formed at a rotational speed of 1000 rpm, while before and beyond this speed, irregular-shaped cast tube is formed. Finally, fine structured grain size with high hardness value is found in uniform cast tube compared with others. 2014, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society and ASM International.Article
