The invention relates to a
metal casting process optimization method, and relates to the technical field of
metal casting process optimization, 3D
design software is used for constructing a
casting three-dimensional model and a mold model, MAGMASOFT
software is used for setting process parameters, the process parameters comprise temperature parameters, time parameters and cooling conditions, corresponding thermophysical parameters of a built-in material
library of the MAGMASOFT
software are called, and the temperature parameters, the time parameters and the cooling conditions of the casting three-dimensional model and the mold model of the casting three-dimensional model are calculated. MAGMASOFT
software is operated to carry out multi-
physics field
coupling simulation, TAG grid adaptive
subdivision is adopted, potential defect types and areas are identified, a temperature field cloud picture and solidification
animation are generated, the defect types comprise shrinkage cavities,
shrinkage porosity, air holes and hot cracks, technological parameters are adjusted,
simulation is carried out again, a DOE experimental design method and
genetic algorithm iteration are adopted to carry out technological parameter adjustment, and the temperature field cloud picture and solidification
animation are obtained. And finally, the required
process conditions are met. According to the technical scheme, the casting
simulation precision is improved, defects in actual production are reduced, and the production efficiency is improved by optimizing process parameters, reducing the production cost and shortening the
process development period.
