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 …

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 …
