| Abstract: | Based on the conservation laws of energy and mass,and taking into account the effect of chemical reaction between liquid titanium and zirconia ceramic mold on the concentration field and the temperature field,a comprehensive mathematical model for numerical simulation of heat and mass transfer has been established to study the interfacial reaction between liquid Ti and ZrO2 ceramic mold.With the proposed model,numerical simulations were preformed to investigate the effects of pouring temperature and holding time on the oxygen concentrations and reactive layer thickness in metal.The results showed that both the oxygen concentration and the thickness of reactive layer in metal increase with the increase of the holding time and the pouring temperature.The development of reactive layer thickness with time consists of three stages:inoculation (0-1 s),linear increase (1-5 s)and parabolic increase (after 5 s). |
