Casting Process and Simulation of K19 Cylinder Block

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cylinder blocks are the most important parts of engine, and their qualities will fundamentally determine the efficiency of engine. In this work, the casting process of K19 engine cylinder block was studied. A casting process was designed and assessed by the numerical software MAGMA to produce cylinder block castings. An actual experiment of casting was carried out and the mechanical properties of the casting were examined. The simulation results show the liquid metal smoothly fills the casting mold and no shrinkage cavity and porosity are formed in the castings. The cylinder block produced by the actual experiment exhibits superior mechanical properties to common ones, which proves the casting process designed is suitable for producing high quality cylinder block castings. The research shows that numerical simulation can provide very useful guidance for the production of castings
