The aim of this research is to investigate the influence of solidification thermal parameters on the macrostructure of an Al-7wt%Si alloy during the horizontal directional solidification under unsteady-state heat flow conditions and its correlation with cutting temperatures. The solidification experiments were instrumented by thermocouples and an experimental approach was developed to quantitatively determine the solidification thermal parameters considered. The observation of the macrostructures has indicated that the columnar-to-equiaxed transition occurred in a sharp plane parallel to the chill wall and a higher average cutting temperature was obtained for the columnar structure.

Abstract Temperature lag in the heating of rubber articles is found to cause marked non-uniformity of cure in the product. The theory of “unsteady state” heat flow is discussed, and a method described for analyzing data on temperatures in rubber being heated. From data on the temperatures at different times during the heating process and on the relation between the rate of cure and the temperature, it is shown how the resulting curing effect at different points in a solid rubber object may be calculated. A new water cure process for tires is described which is very effective in reducing the non-uniformity of cure caused by the temperature lag effect, and at the same time appreciably reduces the necessary curing time.

In this work the columnar to equiaxed transition (CET) was experimentally investigated in the unidirectional solidification of three aluminum based multicomponent alloys (Al-nSi-3Cu), with "n" equal to 5.5, 7.5 and 9 wt.%. The main parameters analyzed include the tip temperature gradient (GL), tip growth rate (VL), tip cooling rate (TR) and Si content. A water-cooled solidification experimental setup was developed, and specimens were solidified under unsteady state heat flow conditions. It is shown that for the alloys examined, the solute concentration influences the position of the CET, which occurs for an average cooling rate of about 1.17 0C/s. A comparative analysis between the results of this work and those from literature proposed to analyze the CET during upward vertical solidification of Al-Si alloys is reported and the results show that the end of the columnar region is abbreviated as a result of seven times higher critical cooling rate than that verified for Al-Si alloys.
