Macroscale melt volumes
Project Area B deals with the focus macroscale melt volumes, whereby the entire component volume is molten and the solid structural component originates within a mould after solidification. Here die casting, gravity die casting, and injection molding processes are taken into consideration, whereby questions of precision are dependant, especially with regards to the discharge of thermal energy through the mould, the arising gradients, partial solidification processes, and the respective design of the components.
