Application of View Cast Software in Foundry Technique Designing

Article Preview

Abstract:

Taking large scale steel casting for example; View Cast software was introduced to the designing process of the large scale steel casting technique. Solidification results show that the annular pop gate is beneficial to the casting. The side risers are used but it cannot eliminate the shrinkages because of the limited feeding distance according to the simulation results. So a top riser replaced it and some chills are used in the necessary regions. The results show that the new feeding system can help to progressive solidification and the shrinkages are eliminated. The temperature distribution is very clearly and the solidified part of casting is transparent which improved the visible effect and made it easy to read. People can estimate the shrinkage position easily.
