Abstract
This paper discusses the use of CAE in aluminum HPDC, focusing on its effectiveness and efficiency in terms of enhancing reliability and quality. CAE de-emphasizes the trial-and-error methods that characterize most conventional approaches since it uses the state-of-the-art numerical modeling tools, such as AnyCasting and ProCAST, that optimize critical casting parameters, including gate and runner design, pouring temperature, mold temperature, and injection speed, to achieve improved mechanical properties in terms of tensile strength and elongation, while reducing internal defects .A number of simulations can predict filling and solidification problems, optimized gating systems, and layouts with minimal defects, hence cost reduction. It also integrates casting advancements for a variety of alloys, including the ADC12, A356, and titanium. A CAD-based methodology is introduced by combining both design and manufacturing stages through optimized simulations in analyzing stresses, heat transfer, and material flow. This proactive approach allows for defect prediction and elimination before production, enhancing the structural integrity of components. This research thus shows how CAE and innovative CA-FEA methods boost manufacturability and minimize wastes, thereby being a relevant tool in producing castings that are high quality and, thus, meet the needs of such diverse industries as automotive, wind turbines, and domestic appliances.
