In view of the investment casting process of turbine rear frame strut
the ProCAST software was adopted to simulate the filling process
cavity pressure evolution
and shrinkage cavity defects and the causes of the defects was analyzed. On this basis
the process was optimized by improving the exhaust passage
adjusting the pouring position
pouring time of the strut
and the solidification sequence of the casting
and the numerical simulation was carried out. The results indicate that the filling process of the optimized process is stable without “suffocation” phenomenon in the cavity and shrinkage and cavity defect in the strut. The actual casting verification demonstrates that the casting quality meets the ASTM E192 standard.
