Diseño, construcción y simulación del llenado de un molde en arena en verde para fundición de piezas de aluminio blanco

Abstract

It is design, build, and perform the filling simulation for a green sand mold for white aluminum cast pieces with the purpose of performing a comparative analysis of the results obtained through the technique test-error in foundry and the use of a CFD software in the stages of design and optimization of molds in the foundry industry, its aim is to show that the use of this technology produces a gain to reduce operative costs in patterns and molds manufacture and the optimization of the same ones in his foundries. This project focuses on the use of the ANSYS software, to perform mold filling and cast pieces solidification simulations to predict failures. For the analysis there has performed the calculation of mold dimensions and corresponding variables. To validate the results they were compared with the practical essays performed.
