Abstract

The structural characteristics of the car shift tower cover were analyzed, and the pouring system and overflow system were designed according to the empirical formula.The numerical simulation based on Anycasting software shows that the metal liquid flow and solidification rate of the initial process are not smooth.According to the simulation results, the shape of the runner and the number of the gate were modified, and the point cold water pipe was set at the position where the defects might occur to optimize the process.The numerical simulation of the optimized process scheme shows that the filling process is stable and there is no liquid spatter, and good quality die casting is obtained through actual production.
