ABSTRACT

논문의 일부로 튜터 선택 가능성과 해결해야 할 주제가 설정되는 매개변수를 염두에 두고 개발 주제 ‘Flow- 3D ®에 의한 저압 충전 시스템 최적화’가 선택되었습니다. 이를 위해서는 달성해야 할 목표와 이를 달성하기 위한 방법을 정의하는 것이 필요했습니다.

충전 시스템을 시뮬레이션하고 검증할 수 있는 광범위한 소프트웨어에도 불구하고 Flow-3D®는 시장에서 최고의 도구 중 하나로 표시되어 전체 충전 프로세스 및 행동 표현과 관련하여 탁월한 정확도로 시뮬레이션하는 능력을 입증했습니다.

이를 위해 관련 프로세스를 더 잘 이해하고 충진 시스템 시뮬레이션을 위한 탐색적 기반 역할을 하기 위해 이 도구를 탐색하는 것이 중요합니다. 지연 및 재료 낭비에 반영되는 실제적인 측면에서 충전 장치의 치수를 완벽하게 만드는 비용 및 시간 낭비. 이러한 방식으로 저압 주조 공정에서 충진 시스템을 설계하고 물리적 모델을 탐색하여 특성화하는 방법론을 검증하기 위한 것입니다.

이를 위해 다음 주요 단계를 고려하십시오.

시뮬레이션 소프트웨어 Flow 3D® 탐색;
충전 시스템 모델링;
모델의 매개변수를 탐색하여 모델링된 시스템의 시뮬레이션, 검증 및 최적화.

따라서 연구 중인 압력 곡선과 주조 분석에서 가장 관련성이 높은 정보의 최종 마이닝을 검증하기 위한 것입니다.

사용된 압력 곡선은 수집된 문헌과 이전에 수행된 실제 작업을 통해 얻었습니다. 결과를 통해 3단계 압력 곡선이 층류 충진 체계의 의도된 목적과 관련 속도가 0.5 𝑚/𝑠를 초과하지 않는다는 결론을 내릴 수 있었습니다.

충전 수준이 2인 압력 곡선은 0.5 𝑚/𝑠 이상의 속도로 영역을 채우는 더 난류 시스템을 갖습니다. 열전달 매개변수는 이전에 얻은 값이 주물에 대한 소산 거동을 확증하지 않았기 때문에 연구되었습니다.

이러한 방식으로 주조 공정에 더 부합하는 새로운 가치를 얻었습니다. 달성된 결과는 유사한 것으로 나타난 NovaFlow & Solid®에 의해 생성된 결과와 비교되어 시뮬레이션에서 설정된 매개변수를 검증했습니다. Flow 3D®는 주조 부품 시뮬레이션을 위한 강력한 도구로 입증되었습니다.

As part of the dissertation and bearing in mind the parameters in which the possibility of a choice of tutor and the subject to be addressed is established, the subject for development ’Optimization of filling systems for low pressure by Flow 3D ®’ was chosen. For this it was necessary to define the objectives to achieve and the methods to attain them. Despite the wide range of software able to simulate and validate filling systems, Flow 3D® has been shown as one of the best tools in the market, demonstrating its ability to simulate with distinctive accuracy with respect to the entire process of filling and the behavioral representation of the fluid obtained. To this end, it is important to explore this tool for a better understanding of the processes involved and to serve as an exploratory basis for the simulation of filling systems, simulation being one of the great strengths of the current industry due to the need to reduce costs and time waste, in practical terms, that lead to the perfecting of the dimensioning of filling devices, which are reflected in delays and wasted material. In this way it is intended to validate the methodology to design a filling system in lowpressure casting process, exploring their physical models and thus allowing for its characterization. For this, consider the following main phases: The exploration of the simulation software Flow 3D®; modeling of filling systems; simulation, validation and optimization of systems modeled by exploring the parameters of the models. Therefore, it is intended to validate the pressure curves under study and the eventual mining of the most relevant information in a casting analysis. The pressure curves that were used were obtained through the gathered literature and the practical work previously performed. Through the results it was possible to conclude that the pressure curve with 3 levels meets the intended purpose of a laminar filling regime and associated speeds never exceeding 0.5 𝑚/𝑠. The pressure curve with 2 filling levels has a more turbulent system, having filling areas with velocities above 0.5 𝑚/𝑠. The heat transfer parameter was studied due to the values previously obtained didn’t corroborate the behavior of dissipation regarding to the casting. In this way, new values, more in tune with the casting process, were obtained. The achieved results were compared with those generated by NovaFlow & Solid®, which were shown to be similar, validating the parameters established in the simulations. Flow 3D® was proven a powerful tool for the simulation of casting parts.

Abstract

Electromagnetic metal casting (EMC) is a casting technique that uses electromagnetic energy to heat metal powders. It is a faster, cleaner, and less time-consuming operation. Solid metals create issues in electromagnetics since they reflect the electromagnetic radiation rather than consume it—electromagnetic energy processing results in sounded pieces with higher-ranking material properties and a more excellent microstructure solution. For the physical production of the electromagnetic casting process, knowledge of electromagnetic material interaction is critical. Even where the heated material is an excellent electromagnetic absorber, the total heating quality is sometimes insufficient. Numerical modelling works on finding the proper coupled effects between properties to bring out the most effective operation. The main parameters influencing the quality of output of the EMC process are: power dissipated per unit volume into the material, penetration depth of electromagnetics, complex magnetic permeability and complex dielectric permittivity. The contact mechanism and interference pattern also, in turn, determines the quality of the process. Only a few parameters, such as the environment’s temperature, the interference pattern, and the rate of metal solidification, can be controlled by AI models. Neural networks are used to achieve exact outcomes by stimulating the neurons in the human brain. Additive manufacturing (AM) is used to design mold and cores for metal casting. The models outperformed the traditional DFA optimization approach, which is susceptible to local minima. The system works only offline, so real-time analysis and corrections are not yet possible.

Korea Abstract

전자기 금속 주조 (EMC)는 전자기 에너지를 사용하여 금속 분말을 가열하는 주조 기술입니다. 더 빠르고 깨끗하며 시간이 덜 소요되는 작업입니다.

고체 금속은 전자기 복사를 소비하는 대신 반사하기 때문에 전자기학에서 문제를 일으킵니다. 전자기 에너지 처리는 더 높은 등급의 재료 특성과 더 우수한 미세 구조 솔루션을 가진 사운드 조각을 만듭니다.

전자기 주조 공정의 물리적 생산을 위해서는 전자기 물질 상호 작용에 대한 지식이 중요합니다. 가열된 물질이 우수한 전자기 흡수재인 경우에도 전체 가열 품질이 때때로 불충분합니다. 수치 모델링은 가장 효과적인 작업을 이끌어 내기 위해 속성 간의 적절한 결합 효과를 찾는데 사용됩니다.

EMC 공정의 출력 품질에 영향을 미치는 주요 매개 변수는 단위 부피당 재료로 분산되는 전력, 전자기의 침투 깊이, 복합 자기 투과성 및 복합 유전율입니다. 접촉 메커니즘과 간섭 패턴 또한 공정의 품질을 결정합니다. 환경 온도, 간섭 패턴 및 금속 응고 속도와 같은 몇 가지 매개 변수 만 AI 모델로 제어 할 수 있습니다.

신경망은 인간 뇌의 뉴런을 자극하여 정확한 결과를 얻기 위해 사용됩니다. 적층 제조 (AM)는 금속 주조용 몰드 및 코어를 설계하는 데 사용됩니다. 모델은 로컬 최소값에 영향을 받기 쉬운 기존 DFA 최적화 접근 방식을 능가했습니다. 이 시스템은 오프라인에서만 작동하므로 실시간 분석 및 수정은 아직 불가능합니다.

ABSTRACT

얇은 벽 부품의 주조는 오늘날 다이 캐스트 산업의 현실이 되었습니다. 전산 유체 역학 분석은 생산 개발 프로세스의 필수적인 부분입니다. 일반적으로 에너지 방정식과 결합 된 3 차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식은 유동 및 응고 패턴, 유동 선단의 위치, 함수로서 고체-액체 인터페이스의 위치를 ​​이해하기 위해 해결되어야 합니다.

캐비티 충전 및 응고 과정에서 시간. 얇은 벽 주조에 대한 지배 방정식의 일반적인 솔루션에는 많은 수의 계산 셀이 필요하므로 솔루션을 생성하는 데 비현실적으로 오랜 시간이 걸립니다.

Hele Shaw 유동 모델링 접근법을 사용하면 평면 외 유동을 무시함으로써 얇은 캐비티의 유동 문제 해결을 단순화 할 수 있습니다. 추가적인 이점으로, 문제는 3 차원 문제에서 2 차원 문제로 축소됩니다. 그러나 Hele-Shaw 근사는 흐름의 점성력이 관성력보다 훨씬 더 높아야하며,이 경우 Navier-Stokes 방정식은 Reynolds의 윤활 방정식으로 축소됩니다.

그러나 다이 캐스트 공정의 빠른 사출 속도로 인해 관성력을 무시할 수 없습니다. 따라서 윤활 방정식은 흐름의 관성 효과를 포함하도록 수정되어야 합니다.

이 박사 학위 논문에서는 얇은 공동에서 응고와 함께 액체 금속의 정상 상태 및 과도 흐름을 모델링하기 위한 빠른 수치 알고리즘이 개발되었습니다. 설명된 문제는 저온 챔버, 고압 다이 캐스트 공정, 특히 얇은 환기 채널에서 관찰되는 금속 흐름 현상과 밀접한 관련이 있습니다.

채널의 금속 흐름 속도가 고체-액체 계면 속도보다 훨씬 높다는 사실을 사용하여 두께에 따른 열 전달을 처리하면서 금속 흐름을 주어진 시간 단계에서 안정된 것으로 처리하여 새로운 수치 알고리즘을 개발했습니다.

일시적인 방향. 얇은 캐비티의 흐름은 채널 두께에 대한 운동량과 연속성 방정식을 통합 한 후 2 차원으로 처리되고 열 전달은 두께 방향의 1 차원 현상으로 모델링 됩니다. 엇갈린 격자 배열은 유동 지배 방정식을 이산화하는데 사용되며 결과적인 편미분 방정식 세트는 SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) 알고리즘을 사용하여 해결됩니다.

상 변화를 수반하는 두께 방향 열 전달 문제는 제어 볼륨 공식을 사용하여 해결됩니다. 고체-액체 계면의 위치와 모양은 솔루션의 일부로 Stefan 조건을 사용하여 찾을 수 있습니다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 응고와 함께 전체 3 차원 흐름 및 열 전달 방정식을 해결하는 상용 소프트웨어 FLOW-3D®의 예측과 잘 비교되는 것으로 나타났습니다.

제안된 수치 알고리즘은 또한 얇은 채널에서 일시적인 금속 충전 및 응고 문제를 해결하기 위해 적용되었습니다. 움직이는 고체-액체 인터페이스의 존재는 이제 반복적으로 해결되는 일련의 흐름 방정식에 비선형 성을 도입합니다.

다시 한번, FLOW3D®의 예측과 잘 일치하는 것이 관찰되었습니다.

이 두 연구는 제안 된 관성 수정 레이놀즈의 윤활 방정식과 함께 두께를 통한 열 손실 및 응고 모델을 성공적으로 구현하여 다이 캐스트 공정 중에 얇은 채널에서 액체 금속의 유동 및 응고에 대한 빠른 분석을 제공 할 수 있음을 나타냅니다. CPU 시간을 대폭 절약하여 얻은 이러한 시뮬레이션 결과는 다이 캐스트 다이의 환기 채널을 설계하는 동안 빠른 초기 분석을 제공하는 데 사용할 수 있습니다.

오늘날의 조직은 오래되고, 잘 구축되었으며, 빠르게 성장하는 새로운 경제로부터 점점 더 많은 압박을 받고 있습니다. 시장의 세계화는 기업들이 그들의 경쟁 우위를 유지하기 위한 방안을 찾고 있습니다. 인터넷 기술의 급격한 발전과 자유로운 정보 교환은 기업이 경쟁 우위를 유지할 수 있는 기간을 단축하는 요인들입니다. 조직이 업계에서 선두 자리를 유지할 수 있는 방법 중 하나는 혁신기술을 시장에 도입하는데 필요한 시간을 줄이는 것입니다. 다이캐스팅 공정 개발 시간 단축이라는 목표를 가지고, FLOW-3D로 모델링하는 것은 Shiloh Industries의 엔지니어링 부서의 핵심 부분이 되었습니다.

우리는 7년이 넘게 다이캐스팅 모델링 도구인 FLOW-3D를 사용하여 예측 결과의 정확성과 신뢰성을 입증할 수 있었습니다. 이러한 결과는 실제 주조 결함, 온도 분포 및 흐름 패턴과 좋은 상관 관계를 가지고 있습니다.

Shiloh Industries의 새로운 프로젝트는 게이트와 러너의 컨셉개발에서 시작되며 대략적인 slow shot profile, shot 실린더 직경, 최소 환기 영역 및 프로세스압력 요구 조건사항이 필요합니다. 유동분석은 최상의 유동패턴을 개발하고 공기 유입을 최소화하기 위해 수행됩니다. 러너설계가 완료된 후 열 분석을 실행하여 waterline 배치를 최적화합니다

Figure 1: The casting part

FLOW-3D의 매력적인 특징은 프로세스의 단계마다 별도의 분석을 실행할 수 있는 기능입니다. 이를 통해 올바른 shot 프로파일, 게이트 디자인 및 워터 라인 위치를 선택할 수 있습니다. 완전히 결합된 흐름과 열 분석은 모든 구성 요소가 잘 작동하는지 확인하기 위해 한번만 수행하면 됩니다. GMO(움직이는 물체)모델을 도입하면 저속 촬영단계에서 샷 슬리브의 최고 플런저 속도를 설정할 수 있습니다. 여기에 설명된 프로젝트에서 부품 설계는 현재 생산 버전에서 크게 변경되었습니다.

부품 형상은 그림 1에 나와 있습니다. 요구되는 주조 품질을 보장하기 위해 충전 및 응고 과정에서 어려움이 있습니다. 예를 들어, 응고 및 후속 냉각 중에 높은 내부 응력이 발생하여 바람직하지 않은 변형력이 발생할 수 있습니다.

설계 프로세스의 초기 단계에서 평가를 위해 21 개의 러너 구성이 제안되었습니다. FLOW-3D는 모든 변형을 평가하는데 사용되었습니다. 그림 2는 고려된 주 디자인 중 일부를 보여줍니다.

Figure 2: Three of the twenty-one runner systems modeled in FLOW-3D

러너 시스템의 초기 평가 기준은 유동패턴이었습니다. 설계 프로세스의 첫 번째 단계가 완료된 후, 추가 평가를 위해 그림 3에 표시된 두 가지의 러너 설계가 추가평가를 위해 채택되었습니다.

Figure 3: Runners selected for further evaluation based on the flow pattern 

응고 분석은 두 번째 단계에서 평가하였습니다. 주조물뿐만 아니라 다이의 온도 분포도 분석하였습니다. 그림 4는 최종 러너 시스템 설계를 하여 응고가 끝날 때 부품의 온도 분포를 보여줍니다.

Figure 4: Different views of the final runner system chosen based on temperature distribution in the part at the end of solidification

Conclusion

7년이 넘는 기간 동안 우리는 다이 캐스팅공정 도구인 FLOW-3D를 사용하여 예측 결과의 정확성과 신뢰성을 입증할 수 있었습니다. 이러한 결과는 실제 주조 결함, 온도 분포 및 흐름 패턴과 좋은 상관 관계를 가지고 있습니다.

우리는 다이 캐스팅 공정 시뮬레이션뿐만 아니라 일반적인 CFD 모델링도 FLOW-3D를 사용하고 있습니다. 프로세스 개발 중에 설계 변경을 고객에게 권장해야 하는 경우 FLOW-3D를 사용하면 이러한 변경 사항을 신속하고 안정적으로 평가할 수 있으며 제안된 변경 사항뿐만 아니라 변경사항이 부품 성능에 미칠 영향을 고객에게 제시할 수 있습니다.

시뮬레이션 소프트웨어는 설계자와 엔지니어가 주조 공정의 세부 사항을 이해하고 경쟁사보다 저렴한 비용으로 고품질 부품을 일관성 있게 제작할 수 있게 해주는 유용한 도구입니다. 고압 다이캐스팅에서 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어는 주조 내로 금속을 공급하고 난류로 인한 공기 유입을 방지하기 위해 샷 슬리브 팁의 타이밍을 개선하고 오버 플로우에 대한 가장 효과적인 위치를 식별하는 더 나은 게이팅 시스템을 설계하는 데 사용됩니다. 이 기사에서는 프로세스 시간을 단축하기 위해 부품을 다이에서 배출하기 전에 시간을 줄이는 방법을 살펴 보겠습니다.

비스킷은 주조 과정에서 고형화 된 마지막 장소이기 때문에 우리의 노력에 집중할 수 있는 자연스러운 곳이며 따라서 부품을 언제 꺼낼 수 있는지를 결정합니다. 따라서 비스킷의 응고 시간을 줄일 수 있다면 전반적인 공정 시간을 줄일 수 있습니다. 이를 수행하는 한 가지 방법은 유체와 접촉하는 영역의 양을 늘려 샷팁을 통해 금속에서 더 많은 열을 제거하는 것입니다. 이 경우 정확하게 적용할 수는 없지만, 아래에 표시된 정상상태 대류 방정식을 사용하면 이 접근법의 기초가 가장 쉽게 표시됩니다.

이 방정식에서 열 흐름은 대류 열 전달 계수이고, 금속 팁과 샷 팁 온도의 차이이며, 금속과 접촉하는 샷 팁의 표면적입니다. 그림 1에서 볼 수 있듯이 오늘날 시장에서 볼 수 있는 다양한 형태의 플런저 팁이 금속과 접촉하는 표면적을 증가시키도록 설계되었습니다.

Figure 1: Plunger tips varying in size and surface area [1]

비스킷에서 제거된 열을 증가시키는 또 다른 방법은 비스켓에서 샷 팁과 금속 사이의 온도 차이를 조절하는 것입니다. 이는 그림 2 에서처럼 냉각 선을 팁에 추가하여 수행됩니다. 이 접근법의 단점은 피스톤 어셈블리에 상당한 복잡성을 추가한다는 것입니다.

Figure 2: Cooling within plunger tip [2]

New design

이 기사에서 FLOW-3D Cast를 사용하여 새로운 플런저 팁 디자인을 분석하고 수정되지 않은 표준 원통형 팁과 비교했습니다. 그림 3에서와 같이 끝 부분에 별 모양의 컷 아웃이 있는 원통형 팁으로 구성된 수정된 팁은 수정되지 않은 샷 팁보다 20 % 더 많은 표면적을 갖습니다. 팁은 분석을 위해 물로 냉각되지 않습니다.

Figure 3: Shape of the modified tip to give 20% increase in area

 

Analysis

각 샷 팁 디자인에 대해 충진 (샷 팁 모션 포함) 및 응고 (플로우 미포함) 시뮬레이션을 실행했습니다. 모든 다른 매개 변수는 사례간에 동일합니다. 주요 관심사는 두 가지입니다. 즉, 충전 중 흐름 패턴과 전반적인 응고 시간입니다. 샷 팁 디자인이 파동 및 공기 유입을 유발하는 경우 팁 또는 샷 슬리브 프로파일을 다시 설계해야 하기 때문에 충진 중 흐름 패턴이 중요합니다.

첫 번째 비교는 그림 4에 표시된 샷 슬리브의 흐름 패턴입니다. 이 그림은 수정 된 팁이 있거나 없는 샷 슬리브 중 유체의 이미지를 보여 주며 팁의 모양이 샷 슬리브에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났습니다. 흐름 패턴. 샷 프로파일에 거의 영향을 주지 않기 때문에 응고에 집중할 수 있습니다.

Figure 4: Flow patterns in the shot sleeves from both tips.

 

두 번째 비교는 응고 시간입니다. 그림 5는 시간의 함수로서 팁의 평균 온도, 시간의 함수로서 금속으로부터 팁으로의 열 유속 및 추출시의 액체 금속의 온도 프로파일을 비교합니다

Figure 5: The above time plots show the average temperature in tip on the upper left hand corner and the heat flux from the metal to the tip in the upper right hand corner. The images below this show the metal temperature within the biscuit of the two castings.

그림 5에서 볼 수 있듯이, 그래프는 금속에서 더 많은 열을 추출했기 때문에 수정 된 팁의 평균 온도가 더 높음을 보여줍니다. 이것은 또한 열 유속 플롯에 표시됩니다. 그래프 아래의 이미지는 비스킷과 탄환의 경계면에서 액체금속을 보여줍니다. 데이터는 수정된 팁을 사용하여 열 제거가 12.7 % 증가한 것을 보여줍니다.

Conclusions

샷 팁 디자인은 주조 부품의 응고 시간에 눈에 띄는 영향을 미칩니다. 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어는 효과를 분석하고 이 지식을 사용하여 프로세스 매개변수를 최적화하는 방법을 제공합니다.
