A finite element equation has been developed to simulate the squeeze casting process of a magnesium alloy wheel, a parametric model has been established to confirm the temperature field during filling and solidification process. The model can be used to investigate the effects of die design and process parameters (die temperature, pressure etc.) on the quality of castings.

Squeeze Casting Process

The simulation of squeeze casting process of a magnesium alloy wheel was practice. Using professional casting software, the temperature field during filling and solidification process, and then the potential defects were forecasted and previewed. It was found that there would be shrinkage defects at the center and the junctions between the rim and the spokes of the wheel. It is better to choose a mould temperature for a better cast property at meet of full-filling. Number of programs are analyzed and compared through orthogonal experiment. And the best parameter team is educed through analysis. It is confirmed that the potential micro-shrinkage is reduced by simulated again using the best parameter team. And the cast property is enhanced.

Squeeze Casting Process

There are two new processes to development automobile structural components which have certain thickness. In the present paper, taking a main bearing cap product as an example, analyses die design by comparing the experimental and computational numerical simulation results. For the main bearing cap, product structure and mold design were designed to be suitable for characters of SSM die casting and squeeze process. Semi-solid slurry has significantly higher viscosity than liquid metal. This character of fluidity and solid fraction phase make the flow condition more laminar than liquid squeeze casting with the partial fill experiment. And compared with squeeze casting process, the globular shape grain size is smaller than dendritic structure. And mechanical property result shows that the elongation of SSM die casting can achieve more than twice than squeeze casting.

Using the ProCast casting simulation software to make squeeze casting process simulation and analysis of the solidification process of the air conditioning compressor front cover and predict the location of gas volumes and shrinkage defects in the filling process. When adjusted the process parameters, volumes gas defects were eliminated, but there was still shrinkage occurs in the center. When imposed a secondary pressure on the central part, shrinkage was eliminated.

Squeeze Casting Process

This paper analyzes the casting process characteristics of Mg alloys compared with Al alloys in the production of high quality (i.e. structural) structural vehicle components. The disadvantages of traditional squeeze casting for high quality Mg components has led the authors to develop a novel squeeze casting process which overcomes the drawbacks of the current methods. The details of the new process are presented here and show the increased productivity and quality of castings that can result from changing the way molten metal is handled and processed. The feasibility of this new squeeze casting process was applied to Mg wheels for LX150 motorbikes.

The liquid metal filling and solidification process of aluminum engine cylinder head in different gating system during casting process was simulated by casting simulation software MAGMAsoft. The simulation results showed that the best pouring process contains the bottom note type casting and the placement of combustion chamber side, so that we could obtain a simple modeling process, and significantly shorten the trial production cycle, as well as the trial cost of the piston, and improve the quality of the cylinder head.

To solve the problems of automotive wheel’ design by using traditional methods, application of finite element analysis in modern automotive wheel design is presented. Then, for example of SU0011-typed aluminum alloy wheel, this paper illustrates in detail the application in its hub structure design, mold design and casting process. By using the ANSYS software, structural design of wheel is optimized according to the CAE results of fatigue strength. In the meanwhile, the casting mold of wheel hub is also designed. Using the ProCAST software, casting process optimization and casting defects elimination can be realized based on simulating the process of filling and solidification of low-pressure casting. Experimental analysis shows that, with the help of finite element analysis, design accuracy and product reliability can be effectively improved and product development cycles can be greatly shorten. So the application has a very good prospect in the automotive industry.
