Application of Numerical Simulation and Optimization on Tensioner Pulley Bracket

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article is about casting process of tensioner pulley bracket, which includes solidification simulation, mould filling simulation and defect forecast, using ViewCast software. The scale and location of the shrinkage defects were shown in simulation results. Solidification results demonstrated that the casting defects were not eliminated by the casting technology. The optimized scheme was obtained by replacing and adding chills. The optimization scheme was calculated and the simulation results shown that the reasonable casting process was obtained and the process has been proofed by the productive practice.
