Optimization of Low Pressure Casting Process for Aluminum Alloy Transmission Con-trol Housing
Taking an aluminum alloy trainsmission control house as object,the influence of die preheating tempera-ture,pouring temperature and cooling temperature on the spacing of secondary dendrite arms and the volume of shrink-age cavity and porosity were investigated.Based on the Taguchi method,numerical simulation software was used to optimize the process design of casting parameters,and the optimal process parameters were obtained as follows:cast-ing temperature of 690℃,mold preheating temperature of 310℃,cooling water temperature of 40℃.The optimiza-tion process parameters can reduce the casting defects inside the aluminum alloy transmission control housing.
