| Sumario: | Due to the development and industrialization of science and technology, aluminum alloys have been developed in various fields. Recently, the government has been pursuing ways to decrease the weight and increase the recyclability of various components in order to conserve resources, energy, and the environmental. In keeping with this trend, cast iron products are being replaced by aluminum products in the foundry industry by using high-pressure die casting (HPDC). Casting layout design, relies on the experience and knowledge of mold designers in the casting industry, which proves insufficient to respond to the rapidly changing needs of the era and to increasing production costs. Designing and producing casting layouts using CAD/CAM/CAE technology has become a critical issue. Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) technology is rapidly increasing with the development of computer software and hardware. CAE technology not only predicts defects in mass production but also performs filling or solidification analysis during the mold design stage before production, enabling optimal mold design methods. New technologies that combine the emerging casting processes of filling and solidification analysis using computer simulation with existing technology and practical experience in the field are rapidly increasing in the foundry industry. Based on empirical knowledge, the layout and design of casting products has traditionally progressed through trial and error. The solutions achieved through scientific calculation and analysis using CAE technology can save a great deal of money and time in the building of die-casting molds and in their design and fabrication. In this study, numerical analysis of household appliances (cooking grills) quickly and accurately predicts problems arising from the filling and solidification of the melted metal in the casting process, thereby ensuring the quality of the final cast product. These results can be used to quickly establish a sound casting layout with reduced production costs. |
