Abstract

The paper presents tooling for simultaneous casting of a set of strength samples made of aluminium alloy in gypsum moulds. Using the NovaFlow&Solid simulation program, the filling and solidification process of variants used for casting strength-testing samples made with the traditional investment casting method and the casting concepts proposed by the author were analyzed. Simulations and experimental tests were performed on proportional and disproportional samples designed in accordance with the PN-EN ISO 6892-1 standard. Application of the disproportional casting samples set, proposed by the author, has been confirmed by measuring the microstructure of selected samples expressed by the distance between the Dendrite Arms Spacing (DAS).
