教学目的和要求：
Provide an introduction to shape casting of metals.
课程内容提要：
1. Introduction
2. Thermodynamics and Phase Diagrams:
• Cooling and solidification behavior of pure metals and binary alloys
3. Heat Transfer in Casting:
• Heat extraction, solidification mode, shrinkage and porosity generation, feeding and Chvorinov’s rule, directional solidification, and riser design
4. Fluid Flow in Casting:
• Description the functions of various parts of the gating design
5. Introduction to Casting Processes:
• Comparison of molds and processes for four different casting processes - sand casting, investment casting, permanent mold casting and die casting
6. Casting Microstructures:
• Nucleation, growth, development of cast microstructures, constitutional supercooling
7. Alloys & Melt Treatment:
• Melting processes, melt treatment, solidification microstructures and properties of three common types of cast alloys – aluminum alloys, gray cast iron and ductile iron
8. Solute Distribution during the solidification of binary alloys:
• Scheil equation
9. Computer Simulations
教材与参考书目：
There is not a text book that includes all this material. However, the ASM Handbook Volume 15 (“Casting”) is a good reference guide
