| Abstract: | A 3-D finite-element numerical simulation model of temperature field for CIESC casting solidification process was developed with the aid of ANSYS software and a series ofcorresponding experiments were made. The results showed that the good agreement was obtained between the numerical simulation and the experiments. Based on the numerical simulation results, the characteristics of tem- perature distribution in the castings during CIESC solidification process were analyzed and summarized. According to the G/R1/2 method and numerical simulation results, there is no any shrinkage defect in the CIESE casting and structure of casting is fine and compact. |
