The shrinkage porosities in elbow joint parts formed by empirical investment casting generally exists on the inner wall of hole and base ring. The ProCAST simulation software was utilized to analyze the defects of elbow joint castings. With the optimization of gating system and the addition of riser and cold iron
two schemes for reducing the shrinkage rate were proposed. The comparative analysis reveals that the optimization of gating system is the optimal scheme and the orthogonal test is designed. The results indicate that when the pouring temperature is 1 520 ℃
pouring speed is 0.6 kg/s and shell preheating temperature is 1 120 ℃
