Customized cast steel parts: After selecting the layout of the sprue, the specific dimensions of the corresponding sprue and runner can be obtained. The size of the inner sprue requires the designer to comprehensively consider the casting size, structure, and riser setting, and directly select from several possible inner sprue sizes and quantity lists provided by the calculation. This section also includes the function of calculating the weight of the pouring system, which is essential for accurately calculating the casting process yield and the amount of molten steel melted during production.
The application example used this software to design the production process of lower ring castings produced by the Special Steel Industry Department of a certain casting research institute, which improved the design efficiency and level. The CAD practical software for casting process design of steel castings is embedded in the widely used CAXA electronic drawing software in China. It displays in the form of a dialog box and is accompanied by illustrations to illustrate the process route. The software has clear and intuitive effects, strong practicality, and is suitable for the process design of sand casting steel castings. The software has the basic function of guiding process design.
Using Microsoft Visual C++610 as the development environment and CAXA electronic drawing board as the development platform, each functional submodule is triggered and executed through various menu dialog boxes in the window. It supports keyboard and mouse, facilitating human-computer interaction and providing a good application environment for designers. This software was used for the process design of specific castings, with fast selection of process parameters, accurate design calculations, convenient reference materials, fast drawing of process drawings, and simple and efficient writing of production process cards. It only takes a short time from drawing graphics, data input to printing and outputting results, overcoming the disadvantages of low calculation and drawing speed, repetitive labor, and easy deviation. Therefore, it can shorten the casting process design cycle, improve the quality of process design, and has good application prospects. For computer numerical simulation calculations such as solidification and filling of castings, it is suitable to use this software for process initialization design of castings and establish process prototypes in the pre-processing stage, which can lay the foundation for subsequent simulation calculations.
