the stress-strain mathematical equation during solidification process of Al-Si alloy castings was obtained
based on the experimental study of the semisolid mechanical and rheologic properties of the alloy.A numerical simulation program of the thermal stresses of 3-D axisymetric Al-Si alloy castings has been developed
which can be used to solve the thermoelastoviscoplasticity problem related to the high temperature mechanical properties of the material. The behavior of Al-Si alloy casting with a hot spot predicted by computation was consistent with the experimental results.
