Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine casting defect on aluminium alloy of automotive water pump housing. Furthermore, the aims of this project also are to design, analysis and simulate the product by using Solidwork and AnyCasting simulation software. Through the simulation, the quality of the product can be investigated. Parameters such as solidification time, filling time and particle tracing are the main influence to the micro shrinkage, retain melt volume and cooling curve of the product. Although the main parameter is influence the quality, but there are some sub-parameter that influences the result such as die temperature, pouring temperature and number of gate. Two design of water pump housing were investigated in this project. In order to obtain the best design of water pump housing, design 2 was more relevant compared to design 1 although the filling time of design 1 is shorter which 0.26218 second respectively 5.5722 second.
