World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology;International Journal of Chemical, Molecular, Nuclear, Materials and Metallurgical Engineering. Volume 11. No 5. pp. 389-393scholar.waset.org/1999.2/10007045http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/2538This study presents simulations of an aluminium melt containing an initially non-dispersed fly ash nanoparticle phase. Mixing is affected predominantly by means of forced extensional flow via either straight or slanted orifices. The sensitivity to various process parameters is determined. The simulated process is used for the production of cast fly ash-aluminium nanocomposites. The possibilities for rod and plate stock grading in the context of a continuous casting process implementation are discussed.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United Statesmetal matrix compositesfly ash nanoparticlesaluminium 2024agglomerationResearch Subject Categories::TECHNOLOGY::Chemical engineering::Metallurgical process and manufacturing engineeringArticle
