Casting simulation tool ADSTEFAN is useful to design casting technology of complicated iron castings.
Based on the function of solidification analysis, special methods were taken to carry out the prediction and
optimization of shake-out timing for large sized iron castings. It has been proved that these analyses are effective
to iron casting production. During the research of cast iron semi-solid process, to predict and control the influence
of inclined cooling plate on flow and heat transmission of molten iron, the basis of analysis model has been built
in this study. Flow field simulation considering temperature field was carried out for further research and satisfied
with the practical production.
