Abstract Specific heat capacity ( C p ), density ρ and thermal conductivity λ ) of phenolic-bonded 3D-printed sand (3DPS) molds have been determined in the temperature range 20–1400 °C using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), dilatometer, hot wire method. The results used to simulate gradient a mold during casting aluminum commercial simulation software. simulated compared with laboratory...

In the process of industrial evolution, it is a general tendency that companies which specialize in a specific value chain have emerged. These companies should construct a business eco-system based on their own platform to compete successfully with vertically integrated companies and other specialized companies. They continue to sustain their competitive advantage only when they share their abi...

The tensile properties of an alloy can be exploited if detrimental defects and imperfections of the casting are minimized and the microstructural characteristics are optimized through several strategies that involve die design, process management and metal treatments. This paper presents an analysis and comparison of the salient characteristics of the reference dies proposed in the literature, ...

In the global IC industry, business models have evolved into design foundry models and manufacturing foundry service models over the past twenty years. The concept of system-on-a-chip (SoC) refers to integrating all components of a computer or other electronic system in a single integrated circuit (IC). Due to the increasing complexities of SoC devices, it is impossible for one IC design house ...

Abstract The foundry industry occupies an important position in the manufacture of castings, both through existing production capacities and remarkable achievements registered various fields industries. goal steel leaders is to meet demands entire market individual customers, develop new products, improve available technologies, implement “green” projects while optimizing all processes foundry....

In view of the economy and environmental impacts of the energy utilization, most of the heat transfer industries such as steel mills, glass plants and forging shops, foundry process and furnaces are focusing on energy efficient strategies and implementing new technologies. Gas Technology Institute (GTI) and Air Liquide Chicago Research Centre (ALCRC) have applied Oscillating Combustion Technolo...
