Deformation and fusion of thin walled copper tube inserted in water cooling plate for aluminum alloy during casting process were conducted. Based on some effective measures

including fixing copper tube in both opposite sides

cleaning outer surface of the tube

controlling pouring temperature

cooling water flowing through the copper tube

etc.

not only no clearance contact between copper tube and matrix material

but also copper tube’s integrality were ensured to fully meet technical requirement for highly qualified castings.
