A New Numerical Simulation Model for Shrinkage Defect during Squeeze Casting Solidification Process

Abstract:

In this paper, according to the characteristics of squeeze casting solidification process, the calculation model (FDM format) of the partial differential equations with high thermal conductivity is used to the numerical simulation of temperature field. Dynamic isolated multi-molten pool judgment method is used to determine the position of the pool and FEM is used to calculate the pressure of pool center. If the pressure of molten pool center has been down to 0, the liquid metal closed in the scale will be solidification under the condition of no pressure, and will shrinkage based on the way of gravity shrinkage. The equivalent liquid surface descending method of isolated molten pool is used to predict the formation of shrinkage defect; the simulation result is coinciding with experimental data.
