Optimized design of aluminum alloy platen casting process based on ProCAST
The casting simulation software ProCAST was used to simulate the solidification process of the bearing cable seat pressing plate,and the change law of the velocity field and temperature field in the casting forming process was analyzed,and the location and causes of the internal defects of the casting were obtained,and the casting process was optimized.The cross-sectional area of the inner gate is in-creased to 135 mm2 and the height of the sprue is increased to 120 mm.The simulation results show that the structure and cross-sectional area of the gating system are optimized,and the good filling chan-nel of the molten aluminum is ensured when the molten aluminum is filled and solidified,so that the high-temperature molten aluminum can be replenished and retracted in time,so as to eliminate the in-ternal defects of the casting,and the product qualification rate is greatly improved.
