Abstract

The effects of the initial balancing pressure, filling pressure and maximum build-up pressure on the casting characteristics of the thick-wall thickness casting during the counter-pressure casting process were investigated. Water model experiment and a computer simulation were carried out to evaluate the characteristics during the filling and solidification stages in counter-pressure casting (CPC); as a reference, the low-pressure casting (LPC) process was used. The average dendrite cell size decreased with an increase in the solidification rate and maximum build-up pressure. A turbulent flow occurred during the filling stage of the LPC process, resulting in the formation of inner gas, while a lamellar flow pattern dominated during the CPC process and was more evident with an increase in the initial balancing pressure, improving the mechanical properties of the castings.
