Application of E-Foundry Based Simulation for the Development of Gating System Design for Endshield FG200 Casting
Abstract: Every casting, by virtue of its geometry, shape, basic material, composition and process has an optimal method. Casting should be designed to achieve controlled progressive directional solidification so that it becomes free from solidification related defects particularly shrinkage porosity. In this research project, endshield FG200 grey casting is being simulated using efoundry for the development of new gating system design. This new gating system ensures directional solidification in casting, thus …

Cementing Sustainability: Utilizing Waste Foundry Sand to Enhance Concrete Performance and Reduce Environmental Impact
Abstract: The incorporation of waste foundry sand into concrete production represents an environmentally conscious and cost-effective approach. This method involves substituting discarded foundry sand for a portion of traditional fine aggregates in concrete mixtures. The primary objective is to address environmental concerns associated with waste disposal while simultaneously achieving cost efficiency in construction materials. By integrating waste foundry sand into concrete, this practice promotes sustainability by reducing landfill waste and conserving …

Modification of gating System of Ball Valve Component using Soft-cast Simulation
Abstract: There are two main important considerations in castings are quality of the casting and yielding of the casting due to which scrape of material will reduce. Production of good quality casting mainly depends upon the gating system. In casting process gating and risering system has direct effect on its quality. Generally, many industries follow the trial and error method for casting process which is not economical for foundries for long …

A Review Paper on Minimisation of Sand Casting Defects through Quality Improvement Methods
Abstract: Casting is a process of producing near net–shape metal components. It requires detailed planning, execution and quality inspection to ensure not only the dimensional accuracy of casting parts but the metallurgical integrity and mechanical properties of castings. This paper reviews the different types of casting defects such as shrinkage porosity, cold shut, sand inclusions, mould failure, surface hardening occurring in foundries. These defects directly affect on profitability and quality level …

Autonomous Optimization, Method Design of Casting and Its Experimental Validation: A Case Study
Abstract: The metal casting is a complicated but a mass production manufacturing technique. But on the otherhand, the chances of casting rejection are also more if proper attention is not made at every stage ofcasting production. In the metal casting process, higher yield and minimum defects level are expectedby the foundry industries. In the present global and competitive world metal casting industries needsto perform efficiently with a reduction in rejections. This …
