(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 1991-03-14) MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; SANTOS, Rezende Gomes dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8824197696621614
In this work an analytical method is proposed to study diffusion pro¬cess in the solid state in binary systems consisting of only one phase with unidirectional, cylindrical and spherical atomic fluxo Initially a literature survey is carried out regarding some of the most important methods applied to diffusion process in these systems. The method is developed from the differential equation which treats this process in systems with unidirectional atomic flux, that is modified by geometric correlation and convenient changes of variables. The modified differential equation is solved by using a well known exact solution based on the error function and equations are obtained to analyse both the position of the diffusion interface as a function of time and the concentration profiles as a function of the position and time. The predictions furnished by the analytical method are compared with numerical results. A comparative study of diffusion process in planar, cylindrical and spherical geometries is ais o presented. Finally possible applications of the proposed method to the solution of practical problems are discussed.

(2013-08) CARVALHO, Diego de Leon Brito; GUIMARÃES, Emanuelle Casseb; MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; MOUTINHO, Daniel Joaquim da Conceição; DIAS FILHO, José Marcelino da Silva; ROCHA, Otávio Fernandes Lima da
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate both the columnar to equiaxed transition and primary dendritic arm spacings of Al-3wt.%Si alloy during the horizontal directional solidification. The transient heat transfer coefficient at the metal-mold interface is calculated based on comparisons between the experimental thermal profiles in castings and the simulations provided by a finite difference heat flow program. Simulated curve of the interfacial heat transfer coefficient was used in another numerical solidification model to determine theoretical values of tip growth rates, cooling rates and thermal gradients that are associated with both columnar to equiaxed transition and primary dendritic arm spacings. A good agreement was observed between the experimental values of these thermal variables and those numerically simulated for the alloy examined. A comparative analysis is carried out between the experimental data of this work and theoretical models from the literature that have been proposed to predict the primary dendritic spacings. In this context, this study may contribute to the understanding of how to manage solidification operational parameters aiming at designing the microstructure of Al-Si alloys.

Contribution to the marine propeller hydrodynamic design for small boats in the Amazon region
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2016-03) FAVACHO, Breno Inglis; VAZ, Jerson Rogério Pinheiro; MESQUITA, André Luiz Amarante; LOPES, Fábio; MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; SOEIRO, Newton Sure; ROCHA, Otávio Fernandes Lima da
In the Amazon, river navigation is very important due to the length of navigable rivers and the lack of alternative road networks. Boats usually operate in unfavorable conditions, since there is no hydrodynamic relation among propellers, geometry, and the dimensions of the boat hull. Currently, there is no methodology for propeller hydrodynamic optimization with low computational cost and easy implementation in the region. The aim of this work was to develop a mathematical approach for marine propeller design applied to boats typically found on Amazon rivers. We developed an optimized formulation for the chord and pitch angle distributions, taking into account the classical model of Glauert. A theoretical analysis for the thrust and torque relationships on an annular control volume was performed. The mathematical model used was based on the Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT). We concluded that the new methodology proposed in this work demonstrates a good physical behavior when compared with the theory of Glauert and the experimental data of the Wageningen B3-50 propeller.

Desenvolvimento de um método para a análise da solidificação de metais superaquecidos em moldes cilíndricos refrigerados
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 1983) MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; SANTOS, Rezende Gomes dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8824197696621614
This work presents a theoretical-experimental study on the solidification of metals, initially at a temperature above the melting point, in cooled cylindrical moulds. A literature survey was carried out regarding the heat transfer methods applied to solidification in metal/mould systems. Using a radial water cooled device simulating the solidification of cylindrical geometries, experimental values of the solidified thickness as function of time were obtained. A method was developed to analyse the solidification kinetics of superheated metals in cooled cylindrical moulds and the predictions furnished by this method were compared with the experimental data. Possible applications of the proposed method to the solution of practical problems in the foundry process 3re presented. Finally a comparative study of the solidification kinetics of solidified metals in plane, cylindrical and spherical geometries is presented.

Espaçamentos dendríticos primários da liga Sn-5%Pb solidificada direcionalmente em um sistema horizontal
(2012) NOGUEIRA, Márcio Roberto Alves; CARVALHO, Diego de Leon Brito; MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; DIAS FILHO, José Marcelino da Silva; ROCHA, Otávio Fernandes Lima da
In order to investigate the effect of thermal parameters on the primary dendritic spacings of Sn - 5%Pb alloy, horizontal directional solidification experiments have been carried out under unsteady state heat flow conditions. Thermocouples have been connected with the metal, and the time - temperature data have been recorded automatically. The results include metal/mold heat transfer coefficient determined from comparisons between the experimental thermal profiles and simulations provided by a numerical model. A combined theoretical and experimental approach is developed to determine the solidification thermal parameters: tip growth rates, and cooling rates. The experimental and calculated values have shown a good agreement. A comparative study between experimental data of this work and those from the literature proposed to predict the primary spacings during upward and downward vertical unsteady-state directional solidification of Sn - Pb alloys is presented. The observation of the microstructures has indicated that the primary dendritic spacings have been affected by the direction of growth, increasing in conditions of horizontal solidification when compared with those obtained during vertical solidification.

Influence of thermal parameters on the dendritic arm spacing and the microhardness of Al-5.5wt.%Sn alloy directionally solidified
(2014-06) VASCONCELOS, Angela de Jesus; SILVA, Cibele Vieira Arão da; MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; SILVA, Maria Adrina Paixão de Souza da; ROCHA, Otávio Fernandes Lima da
Al-Sn alloys are widely used in tribological applications. In this study, thermal, microstructural and microhardness (HV) analysis were carried out with an Al-5.5wt.%Sn alloy ingot produced by horizontal directional transient solidification. The main parameters analyzed include the growth rate (VL) and cooling rate (TR).These thermal parameters play a key role in the microstructural formation. The dendritic microstructure has been characterized by primary dendritic arm spacing (λ1) which was experimentally determined and correlated with VL, and TR. The behavior presented by the Al-5.5wt.%Sn alloy during solidification was similar to that of other aluminum alloys, i.e., the dendritic network became coarser with decreasing cooling rates, indicating that the immiscibility between aluminum and tin does not have a significant effect on the relationship between primary dendritic arm spacing and the cooling rate. The dependence of the microhardness on VL, TR and λ1 was also analyzed. It was found that for increasing values of TR, the values of HV decrease. On the other hand, the values of HV increase with increasing values of λ1.

Influência das variáveis térmicas sobre os espaçamentos dendríticos terciários durante a solidificação direcional horizontal da liga Al-6%Cu
(2015-03) DIAS FILHO, José Marcelino da Silva; KIKUCHI, Rafael Hideo Lopes; COSTA, Thiago Antônio Paixão de Sousa; MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; ROCHA, Otávio Fernandes Lima da
The Al-6wt%Cu alloy was directionally solidified and dendritic microstructure, solidification thermal variables, i.e., tip growth rate (VL), cooling rate (TR) and temperature gradient ahead of liquidus isotherm (GL) were characterized and correlated with tertiary dendritic spacings (λ3) determined experimentally. For this purpose, a horizontal solidification experimental apparatus was developed and specimens were solidified under unsteady state heat flow conditions. It was observed that power laws -1.1 and -0.55 characterize the tertiary spacing variations with tip growth rate (VL) and cooling rate (TR), respectively. Comparisons with other studies published in the literature for Al-Cu alloys solidified in upward and downward vertical directional conditions were performed.

On the Natural Convection in the Columnar to Equiaxed Transition in Directionally Solidified Aluminum-based Binary and Multicomponent Alloys
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-12) GOMES, Carlos Henrique Ursolino; KIKUCHI, Rafael Hideo Lopes; BARROS, André dos Santos; SILVA, José Nazareno Santos da; SILVA, Maria Adrina Paixão de Souza da; MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; ROCHA, Otávio Fernandes Lima da
In order to investigate the effect of natural convection in columnar to equiaxed transition (CET), Al-3.0wt.%Cu and Al-3.0wt.%Cu-5.5wt.%Si alloys ingots were obtained during the transient horizontal directional solidification (THDS). Aiming to analyze the effect of superheat in the formation of the macrostructure in ternary Al-Cu-Si alloy, the experiments were conducted with three superheat temperatures above the liquidus temperature of the ternary alloy. A water-cooled solidification experimental device was used. Continuous temperature measurements were made during solidification at different positions in the casting and the data were automatically acquired. Thermal analysis has been applied to determine the thermal parameters such as growth rate (VL), cooling rate (TR) and temperature gradient (GL), whose values have been interrelated with the CET. The observation of the macrostructures has indicated that the resulting thermosolutal convection combined with superheat seem to favor the transition, which did not occur in a single plane, for all ingots obtained, i.e., it has been seen in a range of positions in ingots. The addition of Si element in binary Al-Cu alloy anticipates the CET. A comparison with experimental results for CET occurrence in different growth directions has been carried out.

Solidification thermal parameters and dendritic growth during the horizontal directional solidification of Al-7wt.%Si alloy
(2014-09) CARVALHO, Diego de Leon Brito; COSTA, Thiago Antônio Paixão de Sousa; MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; SILVA, Maria Adrina Paixão de Souza da; DIAS FILHO, José Marcelino da Silva; MOUTINHO, Daniel Joaquim da Conceição; ROCHA, Otávio Fernandes Lima da
The main purpose of this work is to investigate the influence of thermal parameters such as growth rate (VL) and cooling rate (TR) on the primary dendrite arm spacings (λ1) during the horizontal transient directional solidification of Al-7wt.%Si hypoeutectic alloy. The primary dendrite spacings were measured along the length of the samples and correlated with these thermal parameters. The variation of dendrite spacings is expressed as a power law function of VL and TR given by the formulas λ1 = 55(VL)-1.1 and λ1 = 212 (TR)-0.55, respectively. A comparative study between the results of this work and those from the literature proposed to investigate these dendrite spacings during the upward and downward vertical directional solidification of Al-7wt.%Si alloy is also conducted. Finally, the experimental data are compared with some predictive dendritic models from the literature.

The columnar to equiaxed transition of horizontal unsteady-state directionally solidified Al-Si alloys
(2014-04) CARVALHO, Diego de Leon Brito; MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; MOUTINHO, Daniel Joaquim da Conceição; DIAS FILHO, José Marcelino da Silva; ROCHA, Otávio Fernandes Lima da; SPINELLI, José Eduardo
Experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of thermal parameters on the columnar to equiaxed transition during the horizontal unsteady-state directional solidification of Al-Si alloys. The parameters analyzed include the heat transfer coefficients, growth rates, cooling rates, temperature gradients and composition. A combined theoretical and experimental approach is developed to determine the solidification thermal variables considered. The increasing solute content in Al-Si alloys was not found to affect significantly the experimental position of the CET which occurred for cooling rates in the range between 0.35 and 0.64 K/s for any of three alloy compositions examined. A comparative analysis between the results of this work and those from the literature proposed to analyze the CET during upward vertical solidification of Al-Si alloys is reported and the results have shown that the end of the columnar region during horizontal directional solidification is abbreviated as a result of about six times higher thermal gradient than that verified during upward unidirectional solidification of alloys investigated.
