Numerical simulation of Al 6061 in green sand mould has been studied. Two-dimensional heat conductionequation governs the physical problem. Convective condition has been considered at the interfaces where molten metalmeets the mould cavity surface. Finite difference technique has been adopted to solve the heat conduction equation inunsteady state and transient state.Central difference scheme for spatial terms and explicit scheme for temporal term havebeen adopted to discretize the governing equation. MATLAB package has been used to study the thermal flow andcooling rate. Green sand as mould cavity material and Al 6061 as molten metal material has been considered.Temperature distribution of Al 6061in green sand mould for two-dimensional casting for steady problem and coolingrate of with time have been plotted.
