Numerical Simulation of Temperature Field and Thermal Stress Field of Al Alloy Die-casting Dies and Its Service Life Forecast
In order to improve the life of die, the temperature field and thermal stress field of aluminum alloy die-casting dies was simulated by PROCAST. A typical cross-section where the cracks were easily exhibited was selected and analyzed, so the the result of thermal stress and strain at different parameters in this region was obtained; the life of die was forecasted by mathematical model, and the best casting process parameters were put forward.
