Using the method of numerical simulation and the AnyCasting software, the simulation for SDAS of Al-Mg alloy wheels for low pressure casting is studied. The simulation model is established and the effects of preheating temperature, melt pouring temperature and cooling water pipes on SDAS in the low pressure casting process was founded. The results show that, SDAS presents linear variation with the increase of preheating temperature and pouring temperature; opened cooling pipes make SDAS smaller. The practice of simulating casting is verified by experiments, and test results and simulation results were consistent.

The calibre of low pressure casting (LPC) process in meeting the demands for improved quality and aesthetics for thin walled components has been widely accepted in casting industries. In spite of numerous advantages, the process is still being used very less to its potential. The basic reason has been the difficulty in determining various processing parameters associated which can be circumvented effectively by numerical simulation. In the present work, the commercial CFD code FLOW 3DTM, has been used to simulate the mould filling and solidification during the LPC process.

In this paper, aiming at focusses on many problems existing in the mathematical model of temperature change in the low-pressure casting solidification process of aluminum alloy wheel hub, there is a big gap between the simulation and the actual temperature change, which affects the research on the solidification defects of the wheel hub. In order to study the solidification behavior of aluminum alloy hub in low-pressure casting process, the mathematical model describing the temperature change in the process of casting solidification is established by using different solidification latent heat methods. through finite element simulation and experiment, the temperature change in the process of aluminum alloy (A356) solidification is obtained to compare the difference between the temperature change described by different mathematical models, simulation and experiment. The results show that the temperature numerical model of "the temperature compensation heat capacity method" proposed in this paper is most consistent with the simulation temperature change during the solidification process of the aluminum alloy wheel in the simulation mold, which lays a good theoretical foundation for the study of the low-pressure casting process of the aluminum alloy wheel hub.

Low pressure casting process was considered for fabrication of FeCrSi metal fiber reinforced A366.0 aluminum composites. FeCrSi/A366.0 alloy composite was fabricated by applied pressure 0.8MPa. The microstructure features, tensile strength and fatigue life of composites were investigated from room temperature to high temperature. It was confirmed that the FeCrSi metal fiber did indeed have a strengthening effect on the composite, lending it good mechanical properties and a good fatigue life at high temperatures.
