Simulation and optimization of casting process for aluminum alloy special-shaped parts

This article is aimed at an aluminum alloy special-shaped part, which has a hollow connection inside, and there are multiple cross-sections that are constantly changing, and it is difficult to design the casting process. In response to this difficulty, combined with the existing sand casting, metal casting and investment casting production lines of the factory, the casting process plan is designed and optimized now. With the help of the numerical simulation software Anycasting, through the simulation analysis of the casting process, the problem that the castings are prone to defects in the thin wall and the bottom plate is solved. The conclusions obtained from the simulation analysis were applied to the actual production process, and qualified castings were produced.
