Casting Process Design and Simulation of Large Cast Steel Bracket

Abstract:

The casting process design of large cast steel supports is carried out, and the special integrated sand core and forged steel cast lugs are used to simplify the cavity manufacturing process. The ProCAST software was used to simulate the casting process of the stent, simulating the filling and solidification of the casting, and predicting the occurrence of defects such as shrinkage and shrinkage of the casting. According to the simulation results, the cause of the defects is analyzed, and the casting process of the stent is optimized. The simulation results show that the optimization scheme effectively reduces the casting defects and the surface of the stent is free from defects.
