This study investigates fixed and moving mesh methodologies for modeling liquid metal–free surface deformation during the induction melting process. The numerical method employs robust coupling of magnetic fields with hydrodynamics turbulent stirring metal. Free tracking is implemented using level set (LS) arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) formulation. model’s geometry operating parameters are designed to replicate a semi-industrial furnace. Six case studies analyzed under varying melt...
Nickel-based superalloys are widely employed to manufacture aero-engine turbines due their high mechanical strength and resistance corrosion creep. Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) is a suitable manufacturing technology because of the reactive nature alloying elements; however, melting process time-consuming energy-demanding. This research focuses on increasing overall efficiency in two ways. Initially, studying influence metal-containing crucible composition thermal properties melting. In...
Vacuum induction melting is crucial in casting nickel-based superalloy components, ensuring excellent properties for aero-engine applications. Precise temperatures are vital achieving optimal metallurgical quality before casting. Hence, a multiphysics numerical model developed to simulate the process Inconel 718 superalloy.
