Casting Process Optimization for Large Bearing Bush of Zinc-Base Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The numerical simulation of temperature gradient in the solidification process for large bushing castings of zinc-base alloy was made with HUAZHU CAE/Inte-CAST10.0 software in this paper. Tendency and the position of shrinkage were predicted,and the effect of cooling water rate and cooling time on temperature gradient and shrinkage during the molten metal solidification was discussed. The results show that:seting chilled iron at bottom of bearing bush and using water-cooling metal core in inner cavity of casting simultaneously, can eliminated shrinkage hole and porosity.
