Modelling of the Overcasting Reinforcement Process using the LS-DYNA ICFD Solver

The overcasting reinforcement process is a complex casting technique for creating lightweight aluminum components with additional strength from an aluminum matrix composite (AMC) insert. Empirical work to date has shown there are opportunities to further enhance the quality of adhesion between this AMC insert and cast aluminum. It is also evident that developing a predictive tool of bond quality will reduce the need for invasive measuring techniques.
