Abstract

Water modelling of a gating system in a foundry can be used to improve the quality of the castings produced to thrive in the global competitive environment, minimize the cycle time, reduce the cost, as well as meet its delivery times. So, from a customer and an economic point of view foundries cannot afford production of series of trial castings with routine changes in the gating system and choose the most economical option amongst all by testing the quality of castings obtained from each trial. This is because the time and cost implications would adversely affect the survival of the organization. All of these factors indicate the necessity of a scientific approach to the design of gating systems to increase the quality and yield in a foundry. Hence, this project is being built to deal with the flow analysis through the various gating systems.
