SIMULATION OF FILLING AND SOLIDIFICATION OF SPECIFIC CASTING MADE FROM GRAY CAST IRON
Abstract
In a large competitive environment in which today foundry exist are more important is production of castings with high quality and high economic efficiency. Therefore, the use of 3D software and simulation programs is necessary in the pre-production stages. In them it is possible to design, construct and simulate filling and solidification of castings in the foundry mould, design ingate system and feeder system. A properly designed and calculated ingate and feeder system is the first prerequisite for producing of quality castings. The contribution deals with the optimal ingate and feeder system for casting of cast iron in SolidWorks and with using a simulation program MAGMA was the correctness of the proposed gating system. The task was to achieve such a proposal ingate system to achieve the highest quality casting production of the required parameters, the best possible use of the percentage of liquid metal and the minimum number of casting defects and the least variance of mechanical properties.
