Defect Analysis of Inlet Tube Casting by Computer Simulation

The main defects in casting categories are solidification related defects (shrinkage, porosity defects, hot tears, cold shut, metal penetrations etc). In the modern developing industries, casting foundries suffer from poor quality and productivity. Casting defects can be reduced or controlled by controlling and optimizing manufacturing process parameters for zero defects. As a part to reduce the defects, design engineers have to use large safety factors. In many designs, due to lack of knowledge for the casting, process is playing a major role. Casting Simulation Technique now have become a powerful tool for understanding the Casting process, Mold Filling, Solidifaction and Location of Internal Defects. This case describes the advantage & benefit of Casting Simulation, and, by which method defects can be reduced with theoretical background as well as simulation process.
