ZL114Aoil circuit shell casting was produced by the low pressure casting.Effects of the optimization of composition
grain refinement and melt treatment of ZL114 Aon the microstructure and mechanical properties of the shell casting were investigated.Furthermore
The processing parameters of low pressure casting and solidification process were simulated by the ProCAST software.The results show that
by using high purity raw material
alloy composition optimization
refinement of the alloy and melt purification treatment
the performance of ZL114 Aalloy is increases greatly.Slot gating system and thick area placed chill can improve the internal quality obviously of the shell casting with decreasing shrinkage porosities.
