Over the last 4 decades, remarkable progress has been made in the modelling of casting
processes. The development of casting models is well reflected in the proceedings of the 15 …

The most common problems encountered in sand casting foundries are related to sand
inclusions, air, and oxide films entrainment. These issues can be addressed to a good extent …

While the filling stage has the least time during the metal casting process, its influence on
the casting quality can be remarkable. In gravity casting, the design and dimensions of the …

In this paper, a naturally pressurized gating system has been designed to reduce the
turbulence of the melt during casting. The influence of gate dimensions, foam filters, a trident …

The main problem during the production of castings from aluminium alloys is the presence of
the reoxidation, which negatively affects the final casting quality. Liquid metal surface reacts …

Since the 1980s, the evolution of the computing power as well as the advances in numerical
modeling techniques have allowed for the development of accurate casting simulation …

The growing demand of high-quality casting is driving the use of ceramic foam filters in
casting processes. The primary purpose of using a filter in a casting process is to remove …
