Numerical Simulation of Semi-Solid Die Casting of Housing Cap Earing

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of the apparent viscosity and pouring temperatures of the semi-solid aluminum alloy on filling and solidification process of the housing cap bearing under the condition of die casting was analyzed using numerical simulation method. The results of simulation show that the mold filling velocity of the semi-solid aluminum alloy decreases markedly with increase of the apparent viscosity. The influence of the pouring temperatures of the semi-solid aluminum alloy on the mold filling velocity is consistent with that of the traditional die casting. The solidification temperatures at the same position of the casting increase with increase of the apparent viscosity of the semi-solid aluminum alloy. There is no casting defect in the casting after complete solidification.
