The invention discloses a
process optimization method for improving surface
cracking of a large steel
ingot based on a finite
element model, and belongs to the technical field of
computer aided design optimization
casting processes. The method comprises the following steps: S1, acquiring at least one group of thermophysical parameters of a steel
ingot material according to chemical components of the steel
ingot material; s2, establishing a
casting three-dimensional model of the steel ingot; s3, grid division and parameter setting are conducted on the
casting three-dimensional model, wherein parameters comprise at least one set of thermophysical parameters obtained in the step S1; s4, performing
simulation calculation of a temperature field and a
stress field in the casting process on the casting three-dimensional model to obtain
surface stress when the solidification of the steel ingot is finished; and S5, the structure of the cast three-dimensional model of the steel ingot is optimized, the step S2 to the step S5 are repeated till the optimization termination condition is met, and the stress of the edge of the steel ingot is reduced. By means of the method, the
edge surface stress generated when steel ingot solidification is finished can be reduced, and longitudinal cracks on the
edge surface of the steel ingot are reduced.
