Metal Casting Simulation: Disamatic Bearing Cap Fill, Vertically Parted Mold

admin — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 23:08:14 +0000

The waterfall action of the metal entering each cavity is a nightmare and needs to be eliminated. You are certain to find that the first “dribbles” of metal entering the cavity will end up as an “inclusion” in the casting. In all situations it is important to prevent the metal from free-falling.

Metal Casting Simulation – Vertically Parted Mold

admin — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 20:33:15 +0000

The fill and feed system for this 30 lb. stainless steel casting was simulated at Alloy Casting Industries in New Hamburg, Ontario Canada. The window on the left shows the temperature profile during the pour. Top of the scale is 1600F, bottom of the scale is 1500F.

The window on the top right shows the liquid fraction – liquid metal in the mold.

The window on the bottom right shows shrinkage porosity.

The use of some very specific design parameters can result in a beautifully balanced metal delivery system sure to produce great castings. Note: this design is iteration one and the precise balance is easily adjustable for the final production design. The pouring basin and feeder designs are not shown in this video. This simulation was performed at Alloy Casting Industries in New Hamburg, Ontario Canada.
