Based on artificial neural network (ANN) and ProCast software, the effects of different process parameter on the solidification time of squeeze casting hot die steel were investigated, such as interfacial heat transfer coefficient of metal/cavity die (h1), applied pressure (Pa), interfacial heat transfer coefficient of metal/male die (h2), die pre-heat temperature (Td) and pouring temperature (Tp). An ANN model on the relationship between process parameters and solidification time was constructed. The test results show that the ANN model is rea...
