The lost foam casting process offers several advantages over traditional green sand casting, most notably the ability to reuse casting sand, thus eliminating the need for costly disposal of contaminated casting sand. The process does, however, produce significant quantities of airborne emissions that can be a danger to both the environment and to the health of workers. This research examines th...

The development of melt spinning technique for preparation of metallic glasses was summarized. The limitations as well as restrictions of the melt spinning embodiments were also analyzed. As an improvement and variation of the melt spinning method, the vertical-type twin-roll casting (VTRC) process was discussed. As the thermal history experienced by the casting metals to a great extent determi...

This chapter presents the use of the additive manufacturing (AM) method powderbinder-jetting (PBJ) for the generation of molds and cores for casting applications. Theoretical information on process steps and the binding of particles is given. For the based chemistry, examples are presented and the transfer from conventional produc‐ tion processes to powder-binder-jetting is explained. For sand ...

The aim of this work is to improve the quality of castings by minimizing defects and scrap through the analysis of the data generated by High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) Machines using computational intelligence techniques. Casting is a complex process· that is affected by the interdependence of die casting process parameters on each other such that changes in one parameter results in changes i...

The twin-roll strip casting process is a typical steel-strip production method which combines continuous casting and hot rolling process. The production line from molten liquid steel to the final steel-strip is shortened and the production cost is reduced significantly compared to the conventional continuous casting. The twin-roll strip casting process can produce 1-5 mm thin steel strip direct...

IN order to remain competitive in the worldwide market for continuously cast steel, steel producers are finding it increasingly important to implement process control improvements. Through superior production process monitoring and control, producers are improving steel quality and are meeting customers’ requirements for steel size, grade, quantity, and properties at the lowest cost. Computer m...

Aluminium disc wheels intended for normal use in passenger cars are commonly produced by gravity casting. If the cooling process and the initial temperature of the mould are not well controlled, shrinkage cavity will occur after solidification, causing leakage in the disc wheel. In this research, a casting simulation software is used to simulate the casting process of aluminium wheels. The cast...

In this study, a mathematical model is introduced to simulate the coupled heat transfer equation and Stefan condition occurring in moving boundary problems such as the solidification process in the continuous casting machines. In the continuous casting process, there exists a two-phase Stefan problem with moving boundary. The control-volume finite difference approach together with the boundary ...

In today’s world a casting production without any defect is almost impossible. After the application of various optimization techniques and process we still are not able to get the defect free castings. So it is critically important to analyze the root cause of casting defect with in the process itself, so that any changes which can hamper the defect intensity can be invoked at the time of manu...
