Application of Computer Simulation on Casting Process Design of 1300 Vertical Mill Seat

The original casting process of steel castings 1300 vertical mill seat was designed by conventional design method.The solidification progress of the original process was simulated by the V-Cast software,the location and cause of the shrinkage defects were analyzed.Based on this,the chills were added for process optimization and the reasonable casting process was designed finally.The results show that the optimized process can ensure castings' progressive solidification and eliminate the shrinkage porosity.
