| casting design book: Casting Processes and Modelling of Metallic Materials Zak Abdallah, Nada Aldoumani, 2021-02-24 This book, Casting Processes and Modelling of Metallic Materials, explores the various casting and modelling activities related to metallic alloy systems. The book provides results of research work conducted by experts from all over the globe to add to the research community in the era of the casting process and modelling. The book was edited by two experts in the field of materials science and modelling, Dr. Abdallah and Dr. Aldoumani, whom both have several publications in peer-reviewed journals, worldwide conferences, and scientific books. The book introduces the casting processes and then discusses the various issues and possible solutions. Over the past years, various models have been proposed and utilized to predict the performance of castings. Some of these models proved to be accurate whereas others failed to predict the casting performance. The strength of any predictive tool depends on the employment of physically meaningful parameters that replicate the real-life conditions. This has been illustrated in the current book with such predictive models and finite element (FE) modelling to illustrate the behaviour of castings in real-life conditions. |
| casting design book: Continuous Casting Michael Vynnycky, 2019-07-30 Continuous casting is an industrial process whereby molten metal is solidified into a semi-finished billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling in finishing mills; it is the most frequently used process to cast not only steel, but also aluminium and copper alloys. Since its widespread introduction for steel in the 1950s, it has evolved to achieve improved yield, quality, productivity and cost efficiency. It allows lower-cost production of metal sections with better quality, due to the inherently lower costs of continuous, standardized production of a product, as well as providing increased control over the process through automation. Nevertheless, challenges remain and new ones appear, as ways are sought to minimize casting defects and to cast alloys that could originally only be cast via other means. This Special Issue of the journal Metals consists of 14 research articles that cover many aspects of experimental work and theoretical modelling related to the ongoing development of continuous casting processes. |

| casting design book: COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN OF GATING SYSTEM FOR A DIE-CASTING DIE Dr. Chandan Deep Singh, Dr. Jatinder Madan, Amrik Singh, 2018-02-15 Design of a die-casting die is a critical activity for its manufacturing and further downstream activities. Further, in design of a die-casting die, activities like cavity design, cavity layout and design of gating system are essential components. Design of gating system for a die-casting die is dependent upon a number of parameters which are influenced by part design and die-casting alloy. Gating system design takes much time of the die-casting expert since it requires lot of manual input and a number of iterations to finalize the design. This requires a good knowledge of die-casting process, making this activity completely dependent on the user. In modern day industry lot of CAD/CAM tools are being applied for design, development and manufacturing of a die-casting die. However, dependency on a die-casting expert throughout design and manufacturing of die-casting die makes it a quite lengthy process. Gating system design being one of the major activities in die design also takes much time. Therefore, it would be quite beneficial to automate the activity of the gating system design. This work is about computer aided design of gating system for die-casting die. Proposed system takes CAD file of the die-casting part as input and uses die-casting process knowledge to determine different parameters for the gating system. Designs of the components of the gating system like runner, gate and overflow have been attempted. A feature library has been proposed as a part of this work which together with parametric design of the gating system generates CAD model of the components of the gating system. The system has been tested on a number of industrial parts and results found are quite encouraging. The system would go a long way in bridging the gap between designing and manufacturing of die-casting. |

| casting design book: Directional Solidification of Steel Castings R. Wlodawer, 2013-10-22 Directional Solidification of Steel Castings summarizes the results of a large number of investigations, mostly scientific in character, on the directional solidification of steel castings. The influence of design on the technical possibilities of producing casting in the foundry is examined. Diagrams, simple basic rules, and formulae are provided, along with many practical examples. This book is comprised of 16 chapters and begins with an introduction to the technical and psychological aspects of steel casting before turning to a discussion of the influence of shape and dimensions on the time it takes for castings to solidify. The thermal gradient, feeder heads, and cavities in steel castings are then considered. In particular, the effect of the thermal gradient on solidification and feeding range are examined. Methods for increasing the thermal gradient in the casting are described, including the use of mold heating pads, breaker cores or Washburn cores; external cooling (iron chills); cooling fins; internal chills; and exothermic pads. Cavities in steel castings which are commonly mistaken for true shrinkage cavities are also analyzed. This monograph is particularly suitable for foundry managers, foremen, technicians, casting designers, and students. |

| casting design book: Manufacturing and Design Erik Tempelman, Hugh Shercliff, Bruno Ninaber van Eyben, 2014-05-28 Manufacturing and Design presents a fresh view on the world of industrial production: thinking in terms of both abstraction levels and trade-offs. The book invites its readers to distinguish between what is possible in principle for a certain process (as determined by physical law); what is possible in practice (the production method as determined by industrial state-of-the-art); and what is possible for a certain supplier (as determined by its production equipment). Specific processes considered here include metal forging, extrusion, and casting; plastic injection molding and thermoforming; additive manufacturing; joining; recycling; and more. By tackling the field of manufacturing processes from this new angle, this book makes the most out of a reader's limited time. It gives the knowledge needed to not only create well-producible designs, but also to understand supplier needs in order to find the optimal compromise. Apart from improving design for production, this publication raises the standards of thinking about producibility. |
