Abstract
A commercial software, MAGMASOFT, was used to simulate the ZM5 shell with different materials of chills. The calculated results of solidification are obtained. Shrinkage porosity is predicted by means of a built-in porosity criterion. It shows that using the different materials of chills, such as copper, gray iron and steel, a large amount of shrinkage porosity defects are formed in ZM5 shell. However, with graphite as the material of chills, shrinkage porosity defects of ZM5 shell can be effectively reduced.
