Abstract :

Porosity may be the most persistent and common complaint of casting users. The conventional trial and error based die design and process development is expensive and time consuming. This paper describe the FEM based simulation software systems to the designer to visualize the metal flow in the die cavity, the temperature variations, the solidification progress, and the evolution of defects such as shrinkage porosities, cold shuts, hot tears and so on. Computer simulation procedure based process development and die design can be used for rapid process development and die design in a shorter time. Such a computer simulation based procedure, often using state of the art FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS based software systems, and DESING OF EXPERIMENT method can improve the quality and enhance productivity. By applying DOE method we can reduce Numbers of trials, Optimal setting of the parameters can be found out and Experimental error can be estimated.
