Simulation of Casting and Its Validation by Experiments

Now days in Industries it is very important to save time and money in manufacturing product, because there is lots of competition in industrial world. Main objective of this project is re-designed of component using Pro-cast software and increasing the product life of the components. Many researchers reported that about 90% of the defects in castings are due to wrong design of gating & risering system and only 10% due to manufacturing problems. to optimize gating/riser systems based on CAD and simulation technology with the goal of improving casting quality. Therefore in the thesis, an optimization framework is presented based on CAD and simulation technology. Given a CAD model of part design and after converted to a casting model. After analyzing simulation results, the gating/riser system design is optimized to improve casting quality. In this thesis, one journal bearing is used to verify the effectiveness of the optimization method. Compared with the initial design. Casting simulation process can able to solve these problems. The simulated results also compared with the experimental works..
