Numerical Simulation and Process Optimization of Aluminum Alloy Connecting Rod Based on ProCAST

Abstract:

The structural feature and technical indexes of 2A14 aluminum alloy connecting rod was analyzed. The pouring system of gravity die-casting process was initially designed according to the technical requirements. The gravity filling and solidification stages in the permanent mold were simulated by ProCAST. The simulation results show that the casting defects are predicted and the casting process are improved. The most possible section of crack defects are the transition part between the shaft and the connecting rod small or big end.
