Abstract  

A 2D inverse heat transfer model between molten metal and shot sleeve was based on the nonlinear estimation method. Die casting experiments under both non-shot and shot conditions (via the plunger) were performed using an Al-9%Si-3%Cu alloy. Based on the temperature measurements from thermocouples embedded inside the shot sleeve, the temperature distribution of molten metal and interfacial heat transfer coefficient (IHTC) were successfully determined. Results show that the heat transfer behavior of non-shot condition was different from that in the shot condition, but the IHTC in the middle zone of shot sleeve decreased along the plunger moving direction. Besides, the surface temperature of shot sleeve was higher in both pouring zone and end zone while lower in the middle zone. In accordance to the movement of the plunger, the IHTC profile in the end zone exhibited double peaks.
