Abstract

Shrinkage defect is a serious problem encountered during the development of automobile wheel hub made from ductile cast iron. In order to find out the reason for shrinkage formation and eliminate it in time, numerical simulation technology was performed to analyze the casting solidification process, and two modified casting projects were brought forward. Based on the simulation result, the solidification characteristics of the original project were compared with two modified projects and accordingly the optimized casting project with chill and rider feeding was selected for application during the development of the wheel hub. The result shows that casting shrinkage defect has been effectively controlled and the trial production cycle of the wheel hub was significantly shortened.
