ABSTRACT
For the development of the manufacturing process of alternator housing, finite element simulation is applied. In recent years, automobile parts are required to be light and have high strength. The control of casting defects is important in die casting process. However, it has usually been depended on the experience of the foundry engineer. The die casting process was used to manufacture automotive alternator housings. In this paper, the die characteristics of alternator housing with the HPDC(High Pressure Die Casting) process were investigated using computer simulations. Through the simulations using the commercial software, the filling pattern and product defects could be confirmed. The computer simulation results of filling behavior were reflected to the optimal design of the alternator housing. The analysis results obtained from the filling behavior of casting process agreed with experimental results.
