MODELING OF FE-C ALLOYS SOLIDIFICATION USING THE ARTIFICIAL HEAT-SOURCE METHOD

In the paper the numerical solutions concerning the cast iron and also the carbon steel solidification are presented. In order to take into account the non-linearities appearing in differential equations descri bing the boundary-initial problem considered - a certain algorithm cal led the artificial heat source method has been used. The examples illu strating the possibilities of proposed method applications have been s olved by means of the boundary element method, but the others numerica l methods can be also utilized.
