Process Design and Simulation Study of Complex Steel Casting for a Hoisting Box
Based on the requirements for the casting precision and the surface quality of the hoisting box castings,the sand casting process,along with the molding materials and the process parameters,was determined. The specific size of the casting head was de-signed and calculated using the choke section method and the modulus method. Furthermore,a casting process diagram for the hoisting box was created using CAD software,and a three-dimensional model of the casting process was generated with 3D software. The cast-ing process was simulated and analyzed using casting simulation software,enabling the prediction of the location of the shrinkage hole. Subsequently,the size of the shrinkage hole was effectively controlled by optimizing the process parameters.
