Application of Numerical Optimization to Aluminum Alloy Wheel Casting
Abstract
A method of numerically optimizing the cooling conditions in a low- pressure die casting process from the standpoint of maintaining good directional solidification, high cooling rates and reduced cycle times has been developed for the production of aluminumalloy wheels. The method focuses on the optimization of cooling channel timing and utilizes an open source numerical optimization algorithm coupled with an experimentally validated, …
