Numerical Simulation Analysis on Shrinkage and Porosity of ZL101A Alloy Mechanism Box

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Shrinkage and porosity of ZL101A alloy mechanism box prepared by sand gravity casting process was investigated. The solidification process was simulation analysis by using InteCAST software and the original casting process was optimized based on the above simulated results. The results showed that the shrinkage and porosity defects’ position of ZL101A alloy mechanism box were accurately predicted by the analysis procedure which was from liquid distribution to shrinkage formation and then to Niyama shrinkage porosity. The shrinkage and porosity of the ZL101A alloy mechanism box prepared by optimized process were clearly reduced and the distribution of them was reasonable.
