Simulations are performed for the squeeze casting of AM60 and AZ91 automotive control arms. Advanced feeding flow and stress models are used within commercial casting simulation software to predict shrinkage porosity and hot tears. The simulations are validated through comparisons with observations made on experimental castings. Generally good agreement is obtained between the measured and predicted defect locations and extents. Design and process changes are introduced to mitigate the shrinkage and hot tear problems in these castings. The comparisons in the present study establish considerable confidence in the ability of casting simulation to predict shrinkage and hot tears in squeeze casting of magnesium alloys.
