Casting Process Simulation of Engine Tappet and Checking the Various Features of the Casting Process

Simulation is one of the methods of interest in various industries, including automobile manufacturing, to reduce the costs, material wastage, and increase the productivity. Simulation has an effective role in reducing process costs and as a result can lead to an increase in productivity in part manufacturing processes. Also, the simulation reduces the environmental pollution caused by the prototypes. In the meantime, it is important to pay attention to the simulation of casting processes, and in the current research, a car engine tappet part is made using analysis simulation and a real sample. The results show that the simulation has played an effective role in identifying possible defects and making a healthy part, and also in the real sample, the presence of carbide and ledeburite structures has been a factor in increasing the hardness of the part. Finally, the increase in hardness may increase the wear resistance of this part, which plays an effective role in the performance of the car engine.
