Numerical Simulation of Casting Process for Gray Iron Butterfly Valve

Abstract

During casting process design, CAD/CAE technology can play important role to avoid macroscopic irregularity, internal defect and assure casting performance. Based on the casting process analysis and gating system design, the numerical simulation of gray iron butterfly valve was done by hydrodynamic software Flow-3D to obtain its optimal process scheme. According to the simulation results including flow field, temperature field and defect distribution, the merits and faults of designed schemes were investigated and then the feasible gating system was proposed. The results showed that, compared with top or intermediate casting, when adopting bottom casting, steady flow of molten metal and reasonable temperature distribution could be achieved. And workpiece defects mainly distributed in riser. The predicted results are in good agreement with practical ones.

Numerical Simulation of Heat Transfer of Roller Slag in Centrifugal Preparation of Inorganic Fiber

“…Chang Lingling et al [14] used numerical calculation methods to calculate the temperature field of aluminum foil cooling and analyzed the variation patterns of aluminum foil cooling. Li Fushen et al [15] conducted numerical simulations of the cooling process of the plastic film on the casting roller and obtained the temperature variation pattern of the casting roller surface. Li Yongkang et al [16] simulated the heat flow distribution of the cooling roller and obtained the temperature field distribution of the inner and outer walls of the cooling roller.…”

“…Large amounts of metal dust and smoke from cutting process oat in the air and cause environmental pollution. In addition, the cutting sta who breathe these kinds of dust is likely to su er from occupational diseases, such as pneumoconiosis, and this has a negative in uence on the social image of enterprises [8][9][10][11][12].…”
