Abstract：
The die casting process analysis of AZ91 D magnesium alloy was carried out,the design scheme of gating system and the parameters of die casting were determined,and the filling process of die casting cavity was simulated by using the finite element software Procast.According to the calculation results,the optimum gate position of the gating system was determined,and the technological parameters of the one-mold multi-cavity die casting were optimized.The results show that the problem of flow imbalance in mold filling process is solved by using sequential filling,and qualified castings are obtained through production verification.
