According to semi-solid slurry rheological behavior, an apparent viscosity model of A356 alloy developed based on the Carreau model was established to simulate filling process of rheo-diecasting about automobile shock absorber parts and to compare with conventional liquid filling process. Numerical simulation results showed that the filling process of rheo-diecasting was smooth but difficult to splash, which reduced the tendency of the alloy oxidation and inclusion. Meanwhile, a certain percentage of the primary solid particles precipitated before filling and solidification shrinkage of semi-solid slurry were small. This benefited to reduce or eliminate shrinkage defects of the castings. Compared with conventional liquid die casting process, rheo-diecasting process had unique advantages in reducing the internal defects and improving mechanical properties of castings.

The technology of computer numerical simulation on casting process is an important frontal field of material science and technology. The numerical simulations of camera shell in the pressure die casting process were carried out. The distributions of temperature and solidification time in the filling process were obtained. Based on the simulated results and the Niyama criterion G/ R , the positions of slack were predicted, which were agreement with the practical result. Consequently, an improved scheme was presented, in which the workpiece defects were obviously reduced. So it’s significant for the application of numerical simulation on improving the quality of the casting, shortening the period of producing, reducing the cost and guiding the engineer for taking reasonable method to optimize the technological design.

Filling and solidification for aluminum alloy packing block in die casting were simulated by numerical simulation. Distribution and change of temperature field as well as velocity field were visualized. The desirable processing parameters can be obtained with pouring temperature of 620°C and mould temperature of 180°C as well as shot velocity of 4m/s. The qualified products were obtained on the basis of the optimized die-casting parameters.

Abstract Experiments of filling the model moulds cavity of various inner shapes inserted in rectangular cavity of the casting die (dimensions: 280 mm (height) × 190 mm (width) × 10 mm (depth) by applying model liquids of various density and viscosity are presented in the paper. Influence of die venting as well as inlet system area and inlet velocity on the volumetric rate of filling of the model liquid - achieved by means of filming the process in the system of a cold-chamber casting die was tested. Experiments compared with the results of simulation performed by means of the calculation module Novacast (Novaflow&Solid) for the selected various casting conditions - are also presented in the paper.
