Study on Die Casting Simulation for Magnesium Alloy Cylinder Cover Based on JSCAST

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnesium alloy has widely been used in automotive sector due to its light weight, low density, high stiffness, and excellent casting performance and easy to recover and utilize. The magnesium alloy automotive engine cylinder cover was chosen as researching object to simulate its die casting filling process based on die casting filling process theory and numerical simulation analysis software JSCAST. The simulation results show that the utilization of die-casting simulation software for improving product quality and production efficiency has certain significance during the production of magnesium alloy die casting process.
