Study and Optimize of Casting Process for Thruster Housing
Thruster housing is an important component used for marine ship. According to its complex structure shape, large wall thickness difference, the casting process is difficult. Casting technology of thruster housing was designed and optimized using solidification simulation software-InteCAST and joining practical experience. Reasonable casting technology method was determined on the basis of accordance the result of solidification simulation with practice. The optimized casting technology method was verified by practice.
