Abstract
Cooling rate plays an important role in thin wall ductile iron solidification, due to their thickness. Casting simulation is use as a tool to estimate the cooling rate. In the other hand, every microstructure has its own cooling rate. This paper explores the similarity of solidification mechanism between simulation and graphite characteristics. Three types of casting design simulated and produced. Solidification mechanism is analyzed based on cooling rate sequence and trend line matching. Temperature gradient and thermocouple function represent simulation while graphite characteristic represent experiment. The result shows that similarity in solidification mechanism is not found between simulation with experiment due to lack of parameters in both sides.
