Simulation and Optimization of Steel Casting by Sand Casting

Abstract:

Casting defects will always occurred in the cast-steel castings. In order to eliminate the shrinkages more and more risers had been used which increased the final cost sharply. The traditional method was used to the designing process; besides that, the foundry simulation software was introduced to prove the rationality of the technique. The software helps to predict the proper position of the shrinkages. The cooling system was optimized after the analyzed and the final simulation results show the rationality of foundry technique.
