Optimization of a casting technology with the tools of Magmasoft software package
Machines. Technologies. Materials., Vol. 19 (2025), Issue 4, pg(s) 139-142
The latest version of MAGMASOFT software package – MAGMA6.1 is used to simulate and optimize a casting formation. The alloy AlSi7Mg was used for this purpose. The casting is intended for the production of a wire connector for high voltage power transmission networks. Die casting method is used. The results obtained from the stimulation of pouring and crystallization of the casting are presented. Based on the located defects and the analysis performed, changes of the technology were made, which ultimately ensure the formation of a defect-free and soundness casting.
