Numerical simulation and optimization of Al alloy cylinder body by low pressure die casting

Shrinkage defects can be formed easily at Critical location during low pressure die casting (LPDC) of aluminum alloy cylinder body. It has harmful effect on the products. Mold fi lling and solidifi cation process of a cylinder body was simulated by using of Z-CAST software. The casting method was im...
