Abstract：
ProCAST casting simulation software was used to simulate and analyze the casting process of a tracked vehicle active wheel hub casting steel casting, and the main distribution areas of internal defects of the active wheel hub casting steel casting were predicted. The results show that the specific positions and morphological features of internal defects are determined by dissection of steel castings and analysis of simulation results of casting process. Through process optimization and test verification, the internal quality problem of wheel hub steel castings is basically solved to ensure the smooth progress of batch production.
