Optimal Pouring System Design for Investment Casting of Cladding Thin-Plate Heater Using Metallic Mold Flow Analyses

Article Preview

Abstract:

To improve the pouring process efficiently, mold flow analysis and experimental design are adopted to provide feedbacks from defect prediction and thermodynamics evolutions by considering thermal radiation effect between shell molds and the molten metal. Processing parameter, gate and runner layout were regulated to prevent the formation of casting defects, so as to promote pouring yields and reduce the costs and product development cycle effectively.
