Design and optimization of tilting and pouring process parameters for engine aluminum alloy air inlet pipe

Abstract

First, a simulation technology for casting was adopted to design the parameters of Aluminum alloy intake manifolds on engines, in this paper. Then, we made a numerical simulation of the casting filling, solidification and air entrapment, and predicted the defects of the casting based on the results. Finally, we determined the best casting process parameters after rectify the shortcomings in castings.
