Die-Casting Die Design Based on the Application of CAE Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

High pressure die casting is a high volume component manufacturing process which is used extensively in many aspects. There are many factors affecting the quality of die-casting die. In this paper, the CAE simulations of filling and solidification processes for die-casting are studied. Numerical analyses are presented for two practical die-casting parts using HZ CAE software. The temperature distributions and filling states in solidification and filling process are presented. Then the deficiencies of the part are predicted. Based on the analyzing results, the structures of the two dies are optimized and longer die service life and high-quality castings are obtained. It is proved that CAE simulation results can offer a helpful reference for die-casting die design.
