Abstract:

The present study focuses on the inhouse melting process in front of a die casting process. The complexity and time-dependent dynamic of melting, distribution and casting process lead to the use of a dynamic process simulation approach. The goal of the simulation is to calculate the time-dependent discharge of the aluminum mass flux. Important parameters are identified and characterized by the use of a realistic process model. Thereby the influence on the analysis of parameters influence on storage, output and process stability is analyzed. It is shown that storage factor and melting capacity distribution have a significant impact. Moreover the control scheme for liquid aluminum distribution shows a strong influence. In preparation for future investigations on energy efficiency the load factor of the melting furnaces, its effects on process stability and potential for further process optimization is observed.
