VANCASTSIM : Casting simulation for next generation nozzle guide vane production

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Français)

The main objective is the creation of advanced modeling capabilities for the production of next generation nozzle guide vanes (NGV). The project is an essential part of the proposed ERANET MATERA+ VANCAST project (part of the European FP7 program). In this project the modeling of mold filling, solidification, residual stress, microstructure and defect evolution during equiaxed casting processes will be further developed and improved, based upon experiments.
