The pouring of liquid metal into mold is one of the foremost crucial steps in manufacturing castings. The behavior of the liquid and its resultant hardening and cooling confirm whether or not the solid form is going to be properly shaped, internally sound and free from casting defects. The fluid flow phenomena throughout mold filling area unit offensively advanced. It is offensively tough to analyze these phenomena through experimentation. Comprehensive, smooth and uniform filling of mold with molten metal is achieved by an appropriate gating system, which contains pouring basin, single or multiple sprues, runners and gates. Location, shape and size of the gating components define the sequence and flow rate of molten metal into the mold cavity. A technique for optimizing the gating system design parameters of a motor cover casting based on the casting design analytical calculation and casting solidification simulation is proposed. Mold filling and solidification processes of the motor cover casting were simulated with the online e-foundry web resource which is developed by IIT-Bombay, India. The results of simulating software indicated that the quality of the motor cover casting is affected by gating system parameters in a significant manner. The experiments were carried out at Krislur Castomech Pvt. Ltd., Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
