Abstract

In this paper, study on metal aluminum solid and fluid conversion was carried out by using crucible resistance furnace, and observing the phenomenon of metal aluminum solid and fluid conversion. In the experiment, the same shape aluminum block was kept under the same heating rate and heated by the resistance furnace. The experimental results show that the melting point of metal aluminum is between 650°C and 660°C, and after the melting point, the metal aluminum began to melt when it maintained for a long period of time, however, when the temperature is higher than the melting point, the aluminum will melt very quickly. In addition, in ANSYS simulation, the solid aluminum melted completely at 670°C in 5430 seconds, much longer than the actual experiment, it due to the heating rate was faster, not in an ideal experimental environment and there is heat exchange with the outside world and convection, at the same time, the aluminum block may contain impurities, so the actual melting time could be shorter than the simulation. In this paper, it was explored for the liquid and solid conversion in depth, and had a certain actual value.
