摘要

Porosity remains a critical challenge in the manufacturing of high-pressure die cast components, compromising both their structural integrity and mechanical performance. This study proposes an integrated methodology combining numerical simulation, experimental optimization, and ultrasonic testing validation to minimize porosity in a tractor oil filter bracket made of AlSi12 aluminum alloy. A finite element method (FEM) simulation was employed to identify critical regions susceptible to porosity, which were experimentally validated through ultrasonic inspection. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to develop a second-order polynomial regression model linking porosity to key high-pressure die casting parameters: melt temperature, mold temperature, and injection pressure. Subsequently, optimization algorithms (COBYLA, SLSQP, BFGS) were implemented to determine the optimal processing conditions, effectively reducing porosity while preserving the mechanical and physical properties of the component. This systematic approach provides promising perspectives for industrial casting processes.
