Numerical simulation and analysis of mould filling process in lost foam casting

In lost foam casting （LFC） the foam pattern is the key criterion, and the filling process is crucial to ensure the high quality of the foam pattern. Filling which lacks uniformity and denseness will cause various defects and affect the surface quality of the casting. The influential factors of the filling process are realized in this research. Optimization of the filling process, enhancement of efficiency, decrease of waste, etc., are obtained by the numerical simulation of the filling process using a computer. The equations governing the dense gas-solid two-phase flow are established, and the physical significance of each equation is discussed. The Euler/Lagrange numerical model is used to simulate the fluid dynamic characteristics of the dense two-phase flow during the mould filling process in lost foam casting. The experiments and numerical results showed that this method can be a very promising tool in the mould filling simulation of beads＇ movement.     

Numerical simulation for thermal flow filling process of casting

The solution algorithm （SOLA） method was used to solve the velocity and pressure field of the thermal flow filling process, and the volume of fluid （VOF） method for the flee surface problem. Since the ＂donor-acceptor＂ rule often results in the free interface vague, the explicit difference method was adopted, and a method describing the flee surface state at 0〈F〈 1 was proposed to deal with this problem. In order to raise the computation efficiency, such algorithms were investigated and invalidated as： 1） internal and external area separation simplification algorithm; 2） the reducing necessary search area method. With the improved algorithms, the filling processes of the valve cover castings with gravity cast and an up cylinder block casting with low-pressure cast were simulated, the simulation results are believable and the computation efficiency is greatly improved. The SOLA-VOF model and its difference method for thermal fluid flow filling process were introduced.

Numerical simulation of mould filling process for pressure plate and valve handle in LFC

In lost foam casting (LFC),the distribution of polymer beads during the bead filling process is not uniform,and the collision between polymer beads determines the distribution of two-phase flow of gas and solid.The interaction between the gas and solid phases reveals as coupling effect of the force that gas exerts on particles or vice versa,or that among particles.The gas-solid flow in filling process is nonlinearity,which makes the coupling effect an essential point to carry out a simulation properly.Therefore,information of each particle's motion is important for acquiring the law of filling process.In bead filling process,compressed air is pressed into mold cavity,and discharged from gas vent,creating a pressure difference between outer and inner space near the gas vent.This pressure difference directly changes the spatial distribution and motion trace of gas and solid phases.In this paper,Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are employed to simulate the fluid dynamic character based on Newton's Third Law of Motion.The simulation results of some casting products such as pressure plate and valve handle are compared with the result obtained from practical experiment in order to test the feasibility of DEM.The comparison shows that this DEM method can be a very promising tool in the mould filling simulation of beads' movement.
