Abstract

Low pressure die casting (LPDC) process of a copper-alloy tap was simulated by the finite element software ProCAST. The casting defect and its reason were analyzed. The optimized design was discussed and the simulation was validated against the low pressure die casting experiment. Results showed that the main defect is misrun and its reason is that the melt solidifies too fast. It’s well solved by increasing the wall thickness of the relational pipe properly. The result agrees with the experiment.
