The present invention discloses a
simulation method for predicting the solidification process of vacuum consumable
arc melting ingots, which relates to the technical field of vacuum consumable
arc melting. By establishing relevant mathematical models of electromagnetic fields and flow fields, the geometric model is meshed, and the Eulerian-
Eulerian method is adopted to set three phases:
molten metal, equiaxed dendrites, and columnar crystals, obtain relevant material properties, set relevant boundary conditions and relevant dynamic grid parameters, and simulate the flow and solidification of
molten metal during vacuum consumable
arc melting, as well as the distribution of electromagnetic fields and solidification structures. The present invention simulates the rise of the
molten pool and the solidification process of the
ingot during vacuum consumable arc melting, obtains the flow morphology of the
molten metal during the solidification process, has the ability to predict the macroscopic segregation of the
ingot, plays an important guiding role in optimizing the vacuum consumable arc melting process to obtain an
ingot with uniform composition, and has important significance for actual production.
