A Study on Simulation and Experimental Analysis of Gating System
摘要
In today's era foundry and casting units are aiming to develop components in the shortest possible lead time The quality of the product is greatly influenced by the gating system's design. The effective position of the gating system and proper orientation of the component increases the performance of the gating system and ultimately helps to reduce the filling time and solidification time.AUTOCAST is one of the most economical casting simulation software which increases the quality of yield, develops casting quickly, and reduces the cost. Here gating systems have been designed with the help of AUTOCAST software by considering the orientation of the component and position of the gating system. Software for filling time, solidification time, and hotspot prediction is used to analyze the designed gating systems. Experimentation is carried out for the analysis of designed gating systems. Filling time and solidification time have been measured for respective gating systems. The comparison between the results obtained from simulation analysis and experimental analysis is carried out for the filling time and solidification time. Both results are found to be closer and more satisfactory.
