Heat transfer mechanisms and the solidification process are simulated for a continuous casting machine and the geometric shape of the liquid pool is predicted considering different conditions. A heat transfer and solidification model is described for the continuous casting of steel slabs. The model has been established on the basis of the technical conditions of the slab caster in the con...

Centrifugal casting is one of the advanced casting branches widely used in the metallurgical industry in which the centrifugal force helps strengthen the workpiece material. The present work attempt to study the effect of the horizontal and vertical centrifugal casting parameters included the centrifugal mold rotation speeds and G-factors values on the quality of the product. The work has been ...

The effect of 12 different experimental compositions of phosphate-bonded SiO2 investments was examined on cast pure titanium. The mold temperature was 600 degrees C and the casting was conducted with an argon-arc melting and pressure casting machine. Castability was evaluated by the volume of casting porosity, which was calculated from the volume of wax pattern (15 mm x 15 mm x 1.5 mm), the wei...

important activities of die-casting die design. In normal practice, determine therunner and gating designparameters. These parameters are simulations on a computer and dry runs on adie-casting machine These iterative activities increase the manufacturing lead time and makes A system which could reduce the iterations and make the presentsa computer-aided system for runner and gating system gener...

Volume rendering is a key technique in scientific visualization that lends itself to significant exploitable parallelism. The high computational demands of real-time volume rendering and continued technological advances in the area of VLSI give impetus to the development of special-purpose volume rendering architectures. This paper presents and characterizes three recently developed volume rend...

In this paper, we propose an automated visual inspection method for casting defects. Automatic inspection systems have the potential to significantly improve quality and increase production rates. In our method, the contour discontinuity of casting product and machine-learning-based defect detection are utilized to detect defects on the surface of products. The peripheral vision and involuntary...

This work reflects the worth of intelligent modeling in controlling the nanostructure morphology in manufacturing organic bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. It suggests the idea of screening the pool of material design possibilities inspired by machine learning. To fulfill this goal, a set of experimental data on a BHJ solar cell with a donor structure of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DDP) and ...

This chapter first describes the robotic CAM system proposed from the viewpoint of robotic servo controller for an industrial robot RV1A. Then, a reverse post-processor is proposed for the robotic CAM system to online generate the original CL data from the NC data post-processed for a five-axis NC machine tool with a tilting head. Next, an application of the industrial robot with incorporated t...

Virtual models (VR-models) can be used to qualify and train the operating personnel on casting installations. These training methods focus on creating virtual models of casting machines where their composition, function and operation can be tested and on their web based use at distributed production sites. A Virtual Reality Platform for creating training scenarios developed in the Fraunhofer In...
