Optimization of Feeder Design for the Casting of a “Support”
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2009, Vol 10, Issue 25
Abstract
Optimized design of feeders in the casting of parts is based on the comparison of several technological variants. The optimized variant is established by taking into consideration part quality and manufacturing cost. Priority needs to be assigned to qualitative aspects. The paper exemplifies the compared analysis of three variants of feeder design for the casting of a given part. The method of the real solidification modulus was applied for the analysis of technologies from the viewpoint of part solidification. The efficiency (index) of liquid alloy utilization in casting was calculated in view of economic analysis.
