SIMULATION STUDIES (USING METHODS OF NUMERICAL CALCULATIONS) OF POURING AND SOLIDIFICATION OF SELECTED IRON ALLOY CASTINGS

Abstract

The results of computer simulation carried out on MAGMAsoft and MAGMAiron programmes were presented for the technology of pouring and solidification of 35GSM steel castings and GJS400-15 and GJS600-3 ductile iron castings. Based on the assumed starting technology guidelines, the results of this simulation were presented in the form of 3D drawings of the casting technology, including also the selected successive stages of solidification and final porosity in the examined castings. Based on the results of the simulation, changes were introduced to the casting technology, computer simulation was performed once again for the revised technology, and new results were compared with the starting ones.

Keywords: computer-aided casting manufacture, simulation of solidification, cast iron and cast steel,
