Abstract:
The resulting quality of the casting is largely influenced by the way the mold is filled. The majority of foundry defects arise as a result of an incorrect gating and feedering system. The task of the gating system is to fill the cavity of the mold at such a speed and in such a place as to ensure directed solidification, minimize oxidation, and entrainment of air, gases, and other non-metallic inclusions inside the casting. The correct construction and opening of the gating system has a great influence on the use of liquid metal and thus on the costs associated with its production. Graphical simulation programs help a modern foundry to optimize the casting process. The goal was to design different types of gating systems with different numbers of castings in a mold with a vertical parting plane for casting on an automatic molding line in a Slovak foundry. These designs were compared with the real situation in the given foundry on a specific casting, and the main goal was to optimize the gating system and the use of liquid metal. Three types of sprue systems with different numbers of castings in the mold were designed. The 3D design of the casting and gating systems was designed in the Solidworks 2015 software, and casting simulations were realized in the MAGMA5 software.
