Minimization of Shrinkage Porosity in A Sand Casting Process By Simulation In AUTOCAST-X Software with Experimental Validation by Destructive testing
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
There is an increasing demand in manufacturing environment for the best quality of casting products at the right time and quantity. In order to survive in the competitive market and to achieve customer satisfaction trial-and-error method to produce defect free casting products from design to manufacturing is too costly and not effective [1]. Modernization is the only key to improve casting quality and productivity. This paper discusses the simulation process of casting solidification with the AutoCAST-X software of a intricate shape small size casting of LM6 (Al alloy) metal. With the help of simulation study hot spot in the casting has been identified. This has immensely helped in locating the optimum position and size of the feeder required. This paper also shows the application of feeding aids as exothermic sleeve. The simulation study has shown the improvement in feeding yield and quality of the casting.
