Mold Flow Analysis and Design Optimization
By predicting defects through simulation, investment casting effectively reduces trial-and-error costs and significantly improves casting yield rates.
- Filling Analysis: Analyzes the flow behavior of molten metal to predict cold shuts and misruns, thereby optimizing the gating system design.
- Solidification Analysis: Calculates heat transfer and phase transformation processes to accurately locate hot spots, predicting and resolving shrinkage cavities and porosity issues.
- Deformation Analysis: Evaluates post-cooling residual stress and dimensional variation, serving as the basis for mold reverse deformation compensation to ensure strict dimensional accuracy.
