The casting, mold filling and solidification process were simulated and analyzed by MAGMAsoft software; it was found that the selected casting process could offer relatively stable metal liquid with no turbulence, and the gate was always kept in full state in the filling process. Meanwhile, a further optimization plan was developed according to the casting shrinkage, micro- hole and thermal section positions, which is increasing four exothermic risers or adding an over- flow riser on the top surface, and setting chills on the bottom surface to speed up t
