In response to the occurrence of defects such as shrinkage and porosity during the casting process, which lead to stress concentration under high load conditions, produce local high stress-strain zones and local yielding, resulting in reducing the service life of the parts. By using a combination of finite element simplified modeling and experimental analysis verification, the effects of the distance between micropores and the free surface, the distance between the pores, the porosity morphology and the distribution angles on the stress concentration in A356 cast aluminum alloys are systematically studied. The relationship between the influence of each defect feature on the stress-strain concentration is established, and the established relationship is verified by actual pores in the sample.
