Description
Summary:In this article, a sophisticated thermal model of the casting process of functionally graded composites is presented. Electromagnetic buoyancy is used to separate the reinforcement particles. The model takes into account the nonuniform distribution of heat sources characteristic for the process, and also the basic mechanisms of heat transport: conduction and convection. The model allowed the authors to estimate the influence of heat phenomena on the trajectories of the reinforcement particles migrating in the matrix during the process. The methodology is illustrated by an example.
