Solidification Time Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Solidification Time = Solidification Time per Unit Area*(Volume of Casting/Surface Area Of Casting)^2
T = ST*(VC/SA_Casting)^2
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Solidification Time - (Measured in Second) - Solidification Time is the time required by the metal to solidify in the process of casting.
Solidification Time per Unit Area - (Measured in Second) - Solidification Time per Unit Area is the time required by 1 meter square of the metal for solidification.
Volume of Casting - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Casting is the volume of liquid metal undergoing casting.
Surface Area Of Casting - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface Area Of Casting is the surface area of liquid metal undergoing casting.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Solidification Time per Unit Area: 9.1 Second --> 9.1 Second No Conversion Required
Volume of Casting: 1.25 Cubic Meter --> 1.25 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Surface Area Of Casting: 1.5 Square Meter --> 1.5 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T = ST*(VC/SA_Casting)^2 --> 9.1*(1.25/1.5)^2

Evaluating ... ...

T = 6.31944444444444

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.31944444444444 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.31944444444444 ≈ 6.319444 Second <-- Solidification Time

Bottom Gating

Go Bottom gating pouring time = Ratio of Area/sqrt(2*Acceleration)*2*(sqrt(Length of Cylinder)-sqrt(Length of Cylinder-Height of Capillary Rise/Fall))

Caine's Formula

Go Freezing Ratio = (Surface Area Of Casting*Volume Riser)/(Surface Area Riser*Volume of Casting)

Solidification Time

Go Solidification Time = Solidification Time per Unit Area*(Volume of Casting/Surface Area Of Casting)^2

Shape Factor

Go Shape Factor = (Length of Casting+Width of Casting)/Average Thickness of Section

Vertical Gating

Go Vertical Gating = Volume of Casting/(Volume*Surface Area Of Casting)

Aspiration Effect

Go Aspiration Effect = Area/Cross-Sectional Area

Solidification Time Formula

Solidification Time = Solidification Time per Unit Area*(Volume of Casting/Surface Area Of Casting)^2
T = ST*(VC/SA_Casting)^2

How much heat must be removed from from the metal in order to solidify it?

The amount of heat that must be removed from a casting to cause it to solidify is directly proportional to the amount of superheating and the amount of metal in the casting, or the casting volume.

How to Calculate Solidification Time?

Solidification Time calculator uses Solidification Time = Solidification Time per Unit Area*(Volume of Casting/Surface Area Of Casting)^2 to calculate the Solidification Time, Solidification Time is the time required by the metal to solidify during the process of casting. Solidification Time is denoted by T symbol.

How to calculate Solidification Time using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Solidification Time, enter Solidification Time per Unit Area (ST), Volume of Casting (VC) & Surface Area Of Casting (SA_Casting) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Solidification Time calculation can be explained with given input values -> 6.319444 = 9.1*(1.25/1.5)^2.

FAQ
