Computer simulation has a significant application in the field of metallurgy. It is primarily an issue that deals with the issue of casting. The simulation of casting and solidification makes visible the foundry phenomena that take place in the gating system and the casting when the mold is filled with liquid metal and during its solidification. The article deals with the design of the gating system and the simulation of the filling and solidification of a real casting made of ductile iron. In the next production ...

Computer simulation of foundry processes is an essential part of a modern foundry. The role of the gating system, its design and different elements are important in casting. Experimental verification of the designed gating system for new castings is costly, timeconsuming and economically inefficient. Therefore, these processes in the foundry are replaced by computer simulation. A detailed analysis of the simulation results makes it possible to predict various risks that may cause a failure in the quality of castin...
