[0002] Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are the lightest metal structural materials with high specific strength, specific stiffness, high recyclability and commercial availability. Magnesium alloys are expected to partially replace aluminum alloys and steels. Therefore, it is widely used in electronics, automobiles and aviation The application in the aerospace industry has attracted great attention. In the field of magnesium alloys, rare earth elements play an important role in refining grains and improving mechanical properties. At present, the cost of rare earth elements is too high, which hinders the development of rare earth magnesium alloys. The cost can be effectively reduced by controlling the amount of rare earth added and screening the types of rare earth elements added. High pressure die casting (HPDC) is an efficient and economical precision manufacturing method that can be used for mass production of magnesium alloy parts in different industries. At present, about 90% of the cast magnesium alloys are manufactured by HPDC. The remarkable feature of the HPDC process is the high cooling rate during the solidification process, but during the casting process, the defects generated will have an adverse effect on the mechanical properties of the castings, which are optimized through repeated production tests Mechanical properties and controlling their variability can be very time-consuming, so it is necessary to use numerical simulation met
