Abstract Based on the CAFE method (cellular automaton-finite element coupling model), the three-dimensional microstructure under the water-cooled copper mold casting conditions was simulated with the help of Procast software, the simulation results are in agreement with the experimental results. In addition, the effect of the process parameters (superheat and heat transfer coefficient) and the Gauss distribution parameters (the nucleation undercooling (ΔTv(s),max), the maximum nucleation density (nv(s),max), and the standard deviation of nucleation undercooling (ΔTv(s),σ) on the solidification structure of the alloy was also studied. The simulation results show that with the increase of superheat, the proportion of columnar crystals gradually increases, the grain size of the fine columnar crystals increases, and the CET (columnar to equiaxed transition) transformation position shifts to the interior of the alloy casting. Under the condition of water cooling (h=5 000 W/(m2·K)), the solidification structure of Ag-28Cu-2Ni alloy is almost all columnar crystals, and the grain is coarse. Under the condition of air cooling (h=2 000 W/(m2·K)), the columnar crystal region shrinks, and the equiaxed crystal area occupy the major part. Under the condition of slow cooling (h=10 W/(m2·K)), the solidification structure of the casting is almost entirely equiaxed crystals. Furthermore, the higher the mean undercooling, the larger the columnar dendrite zones, and the larger the maximum nucleation density, the smaller the size of grains. The larger the standard deviation, the more discrete the grain distribution, and the more uniform the grain size distribution.
