Autonomous optimization of casting processes and designs
Twenty years after the introduction of simulation software for foundries into the industry, casting process simulation has become an accepted tool for process and design lay-out. Casting process simulation always displays the status quo of its expert user. The user decides if the rigging system or process parameters lead to an acceptable res...
Implementation of Casting Simulation for Increased Engine Performance and Reduced Development Time and Costs
The application of CAE is continually gaining in importance in all areas of engine development. This is especially true for the simulation of the casting process as well as for the following heat treatment. Although the durability analysis of the finished component has long been an established part of the development process, CAE-technologies fo...
Exploit the Casting
The properties of cast iron cylinder blocks are never uniform. In cast iron components, differences in wall thickness and other shape factors result in inhomogeneous cooling, solidification, microstructure, and properties throughout the casting. The same factors also produce residual stresses. The experienced foundry man will have some ways...
