Numerical Simulation and Optimization of Low Pressure Die Casting of Aluminum Alloy Cylinder Block

Abstract:

Cylinder block with different design structures will affect casting process and final product quality in various degrees. In this paper, mold filling and solidifying process of a cylinder block was simulated with Procast software and the results show that there are several casting defects caused by the self-structure. In order to improve such a situation, we adjusted the bottom structure and thick parts on the basis of original cylinder. After analyzing the results of simulation, the optimized cylinder has better mold filling process, less impacts on the sand core and less shrinkage porosity during the solidifying process.
