MAGMAsoft simulation applied in verification of technology to produce new range of alloy steel castings
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2010, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
The article presents the results of MAGMAsoft application in simulation of the pouring and solidfication of castings made from GS20Mn5 steel, basing on some principles adopted in the starting technology. The results of simulation were disclosed in the form of 3D drawings, showing the technology of pouring, selected stages of solidification, and porosity in castings made by the examined technology. Using simulation results, some modifications were introduced to the pouring technology, the simulation was repeated, and the results obtained for the technology before and after the modification were compared. Based on the guidelines provided in new technology, the pattern tooling was made. The process of mould preparation was described, along with the process of steel melting and pouring. Castings made by the new technology were X-rayed and subjected to heat treatment according to the newly developed cycle. Together with the main casting, test wedges were poured. Mechanical tests and structure examinations were performed. The results of the tests and investigations were evaluated.
