Abstract

The parameters simulation of secondary arm space & composition has been established for the sake of searching their intrinsic relationship. The secondary arm space difference is 1.1mm when the composition difference is 0.05. The value of space difference is big somewhat that explains the composition difference is an important factor to affect the space difference. The solidification speed changes from 1600mm/hr, 1570mm/hr, and 800mm/hr to 700mm/hr when the temperature increases from one small value like 5K, 10K, 30K, and 40K to 400K. The solidification speed is non proportional to temperature. The speed will increase with decreasing temperature with difference ?T. From curve it is seen that the temperature value is too low so maybe the constant is uncertain.


Introduction

The change of temperature in the solid and liquid in solidification transformation can deduce their related formula. The curve expresses its trend better. From this relation their secondary dendrite arm space composition will change when the transformation happens. It is known that the temperature in solidification can solve their relationship. In this study in terms of these equations the deduction and analysis is done and the error analysis to them is done. Here the solid and liquid equation is explored within line and find the simple formula which make us to calculate the cooling rate rapidly [1-3]. Therefore in this study the model of temperature and composition has been established to observe the trend and intrinsic relationship between them. Then the error is checked with variance to both of constant. TiAl as a promise materials has been searched and developed for many years. However the cooling rate with compositions is not much yet, so in this study the equation is established through temperature and composition according to the phase diagram. It is modelled with cooling rate and composition difference too in directional solidification test. The detail value is combined through phase equilibrium line and it is compared with thermal dynamics. The research scope is from 0 to pure Al here. On the other side the relationship with cooling rate and energy difference & temperature has been investigated according to varied speed respectively for the application. According to the solidification crystalline and phase diagram the application will be known. In addition relationship between cooling rate and energy difference & temperature are drawn for further research in this study. To calculate the cooling rate is our destination in the end in terms of the composition in TiAl alloys. Therefore the establishment equation between temperature and cooing rate in terms of the equilibrium diagram [3-8]. In short the detail research for TiAl dentrite parameters has been necessary and important currently. The constitutional supercooling as an important factor to affect the dentrite solidification in TiAl alloys. Therefore only if both of them has been searched the detail aspect will be found by deep foundation. Their deep study will be destination to us in this paper. 


Discussion and Simulation

The modelling has been established according to equations as below. In terms of equations deduced equations it has

?T=-1000?Com --- (1)

?T=45?L --- (2)

V=2.2/T --- (3)

Here T and ?T is temperature and its difference K; ?Com is composition difference; ?L is the secondary arm space mm; V is solidification speed mm/s. As seen in Figure 1(a, b) when the composition difference attains 0.5 the secondary arm space difference will arrive 11mm. Figure (b) is a part of Figure 1(a). From Figure1 (b) it is known that the secondary arm space difference is 1.1mm when the composition difference is 0.05. The value of space difference is big somewhat that explains the composition difference is an important factor to affect the space difference (Figure 1,2).

From Figure 2(a~d) the solidification speed decreases when the temperature increases. The former changes from 1600mm/hr, 1570mm/hr, 800mm/hr to 700mm/hr when the later increases from one small value like 5K, 10K, 30K, 40K to 400K. The solidification speed is non proportional to temperature. It means that higher temperature is the little solidification speed will be. Here the temperature difference like ?T=10K, 20K &30K is used in order to build constitutional supercoiling.

The speed will increase with decreasing temperature with difference ?T. From curve it is seen that the temperature value is too low so maybe the constant is uncertain. It needs to be search further to build fitter one to upgrade it.


Conclusions

The secondary arm space difference is 1.1mm when the composition difference is 0.05. The solidification speed decreases when the temperature increases. The former changes from 1600mm/hr, 1570mm/hr, 800mm/hr to 700mm/hr when the later increases from one small value like 5K, 10K, 30K, 40K to 400K. The speed will increase with decreasing temperature with difference ?T. From curve it is seen that the temperature value is too low so maybe the constant is uncertain. It needs to be search further to build fitter one to upgrade it.
