	%X Many aluminum motorcycle parts produced by a high
pressure die casting. Some parts such as fuel caps were a thin and
complex shape. This part risked for porosities and blisters on surface
if it only depended on an experience of mold makers for mold design.
This research attempted to use CAST-DESIGNER software
simulated the high pressure die casting process with the same process
parameters of a motorcycle fuel cap production. The simulated results
were compared with fuel cap products and expressed the same
porosity and blister locations on cap surface. An average of absolute
difference of simulated results was obtained 0.094 mm when
compared the simulated porosity and blister defect sizes on the fuel
cap surfaces with the experimental micro photography. This
comparison confirmed an accuracy of software and will use the
setting parameters to improve fuel cap molds in the further work.
