Simulation and experimental investigation of particle distribution in stir casting

Abstract

Particle reinforced metal matrix composites are skilled to fulfill the needs of cutting edge designing applications because of its tunable mechanical properties. Stir casting is one of the unmistakable and affordable strategies for preparing particle reinforced metal matrix composites. Computational fluid dynamics simulation along with the optimization technique is one of the effectual combinations to guide experimental research. In this stir casting process, flow pattern is the important factor for the dispersion of particles in the liquid metal. However, a complete study of analyzing the flow pattern of the particle is a challenge for the research community. newline
