附 录A 外文文献及译文 Application of an integrated CAD/CAE/CAM system for die casting dies Abstract According to the concept of concurrent engineering (CE), a CAD/CAE/CAM integrated system for die casting dies is established and applied in the primary stage. The platform of the Pro/ENGINEER CAD/CAM software, the MAGMASOFT simulation software and a primary expert system for the design of the die casting process are available to establish this integrated system. A primary expert system package including a series of empirical calculation equations and data for the design of technological scheme and dies of die casting has been developed by the authors. This integrated system has been applied successfully in the design and manufacture of die casting dies for aluminum and magnesium die castings, such as the water pump of the Santana sedan. The use of this integrated system can shorten the cycle of die design and manufacture, and result in the production of high quality die castings in a shorter time. The lead-time of die castings is shortened greatly. Keywords: CAD/CAE/CAM integrated system; Die casting dies; Numerical simulation of metal flow and solidification 1. Introduction The application of die castings is expanding continuously. The construction of die castings is becoming more complex and large-sized, and at the same time a shorter development cycle of new die casting products is required. How to produce high quality die castings in a shorter period with a lower cost has become an important and urgent task of die casting enterprises. Recently concurrent engineering (CE) has been introduced into die casting production, and the CAD/CAE/CAM integrated system of die casting dies has been established [1]. In the CE process, the first step is to create a 3D part database for use in all aspects of the production process. The next step is to design the die casting process, which includes the design of gating system, overflows and cooling channels and whole set of die casting
