Research on Metamorphic Vibration Casting Process Based on EDEM-FLUENT Coupling

Abstract:

In order to reduce the defects of investment casting and improve its casting quality, vibration technology and casting technology are combined effectively and the effect of vibration degree of freedom, frequency and amplitude on the filling ability of liquid metal are studied by means of EDEM-FLUENT solid liquid coupling visualization. With the use of orthogonal test method, the sensitivity of the particles towards each parameter index is obtained. Optimal vibration parameters are chosen and then the best variable cell vibration casting solution is obtained.
