Abstract

The die casting process was used to manufacture an automotive alternator housing. Generally automobile parts are required to be light and have high strength. The control of casting defects is important but has usually been depended only on the experience of the foundry engineer. Therefore simulations have been carried out on the die casting process of alternator housing. In this paper. we investigated the characteristics of the die casted alternator housing with the HPDC(High Pressure Die Casting) process. We presented the results of filling behavior and solidification process of the cast, The analysis results obtained from the filling behavior and solidification of cast agreed with test results.
