Abstract: The casting process simulation software ProCAST was used to simulate the filling and solidification process of the sand gravity casting of the large aluminum alloy. The location of the casting defects was predicted, and their causes were analyzed.Based on that,the cooling effect was enhanced by rationally adjusting the pouring riser system and cold iron in special area.The casting process plan was optimized, which laid the foundation for process implementation.

Key words: ProCAST, aluminum alloy, casting process simulation, process optimization
