Abstract

The numerical simulation is similar to the experimental research, which uses the computer. 3D printing is an experimental study, which is compared with simulation. 3D printing and precision casting of impellers are frequently used in industrial scenarios. To address the problem of low casting yield of aluminium alloy impellers in gypsum-type casting, three-dimensional modelling by magics, casting simulation, and parameter optimization method by applying ProCAST software are used to improve the casting yield of impellers. The results show that the optimized structure of the casting system is more reasonable, so that the shrinkage and shrinkage defects are concentrated in the location of the riser; the maximum stress value of the casting and the casing during the solidification stage is 2.71 MPa, which is much smaller than the stress limit of the casing; the maximum horizontal displacement of the casting along the X and Y axes after solidification is completed at 0.025 mm and 0.022 mm, respectively, and the maximum displacement along the Z axis due to the presence of the riser is 0.009 mm, which greatly improves casting accuracy and molding quality.
