Foundry Technique Designing and Optimization of the Cast-Steel Casting

The traditional method has been used to the foundry technique for the cast-steel casting. And the commercial foundry simulation software was used to validate the rationality of the foundry technique. Four side risers and some cylindrical chills were used to decrease the shrinkages which would occur in casting. The results show that the risers could not feed the casting effectively because of the limited feeding distance. A top riser was introduced to eliminate the defects, the simulation results show that still some shrinkages occurred because the heat effect between risers. The side risers were replaced by an annular chill. Finally, the shrinkages would happened in casting were eliminated.
