AnyDBASE

< p>As a database management program that can summarize the properties of melt, mold and other materials in casting molding, anyDBASE is mainly divided into regular database and user database. The regular database provides commonly used material properties with international standards, while the user database enables users to save and manage modified or additional data. Users can simply select the material of interest without having to enter hundreds of different material properties.

In addition, it also provides the heat transfer coefficient of each material, which improves the convenience of the program

Oxidation/Slag Inclusion Analysis

High Pressure Casting Low Pressure Casting

This process is often Used to produce non-ferrous metal alloy castings (such as aluminum, magnesium, zinc). It is a method of pressing liquid or semi-liquid alloy liquid into the casting cavity at a high speed under high pressure, and solidifying it under pressure to obtain castings with clear outlines and precise dimensions. The occurrence of defects such as pores, cold shuts, and oxidized slag inclusions can be controlled by reasonably designing parameters such as the shape of the runner, the cross section of the inner gate, and the location and size of the overflow tank. Pour dry compressed air into the metal liquid surface in the sealed crucible, so that the metal liquid rises from bottom to top along the liquid riser under the action of gas pressure, and smoothly fills the mold through the runner, and under pressure solidification. When the casting is completely solidified, the gas pressure on the liquid surface is released, allowing the unsolidified molten metal in the riser tube and runner to flow back into the crucible by its own weight. Open the mold and take out the casting.

Gravity sand casting gravity tilting Casting

Gravity sand casting is mainly used to cast metals with high melting points, such as cast steel and cast iron, and uses sand molds to shape castings. Reasonable casting system and riser design can effectively control filling defects (such as air entrapment, impact damage, etc.) and solidification defects (such as shrinkage cavities, shrinkage porosity, etc.). Gravity tilt casting is one of the more advanced metal forming methods at present. It uses a gravity pouring machine and a metal mold made of an alloy that is resistant to high temperatures and thermal fatigue. During the pouring process, it rotates in multiple directions, using liquid metal. Its own weight and fluidity achieve the process purpose of sequential filling and solidification, thereby greatly reducing defects such as shrinkage cavities and shrinkage porosity. The castings have the advantages of high dimensional accuracy and good intrinsic quality.

Metal mold casting investment casting

The metal type has the advantages of high thermal conductivity, fast heat dissipation, high precision, and long service life. It is suitable for complex aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy and other non-ferrous metal castings, and is also suitable for ferrous metal castings. Metal mold casting itself has no concessions, and castings have a greater tendency to form cracks. AnyCasting can accurately predict the location of cracks, especially for effective control of cracks in the center of large ingots. Investment casting is particularly suitable for casting special alloys, such as high-temperature alloys, heat-resistant alloys, precision alloys, etc., and castings with complex shapes. Oral heating type pouring is generally used, with a larger pouring system. Reasonable gating system design plays an important role in effectively controlling defects such as shrinkage cavities and improving productivity.

Squeeze casting Vacuum die casting< /p>

Squeeze casting, also known as "liquid die forging", is a casting technology that applies high mechanical pressure to liquid or semi-solid metal filled into the mold and solidifies it under high pressure. Vacuum die casting is a casting method that creates a vacuum in the mold cavity, sucks the molten metal into the mold cavity from bottom to top, and solidifies the metal into shape.

Its advantages are that castings are not prone to defects such as pores, shrinkage cavities, inclusions, etc.; the grains are fine, the structure is dense, and the mechanical properties are good; there is no loss of molten metal in the gating system, but there is loss of metal adhering to the mold mouth, and the process yield is high; The outer dimensions of the casting are precise, the inner hole size is controlled by solidification time, the dimensional accuracy is low, and the surface is rough and uneven.

Semi-solid metal casting centrifugal casting

Semi-solid metal casting is formed by using solid-liquid mixed slurry of spherical primary solid phase to form, or the slurry is completely solidified into a billet, and then the billet is cut into pieces as needed and reheated to solid state. Liquid two-phase zone, this semi-solid blank is used for casting. The process is mainly divided into two categories: rheological casting and thixotropic casting. Centrifugal casting is a casting method in which liquid metal is poured into a rotating mold so that the liquid metal fills the mold and solidifies under the action of centrifugal force. The resulting casting has a dense structure, with little or no shrinkage, porosity, inclusions, etc. Moreover, cylindrical castings can be formed without a core, simplifying the casting process. There is no residual alloy in the sprue after pouring, which improves the filling capacity of alloy liquid. But it will aggravate segregation.

Continuous casting electroslag casting< /p>

Continuous casting is an advanced casting method. Its principle is to continuously pour molten metal into one end of the water-cooled metal mold (crystallizer), and continuously take out the casting from the other end of the mold. It can obtain arbitrarily long or a specific length of casting. The electroslag melting and casting process is a casting process that combines electroslag remelting and refining with casting solidification and molding to complete casting molding in one go. For some important structural parts with complex shapes and high requirements, using this process can shorten the production cycle and reduce production costs. The castings produced have both good internal quality and high material properties.
