The opportunity to improve the quality of metal castings by enabling fabrication of complex
gating systems via 3D Sand-Printing (3DSP) has been recently established. Among the …

Abstract 3D Sand-Printing (3DSP) is a relatively new Additive Manufacturing (AM)
technology that enables direct digital manufacturing (DDM) of complex sand molds and …

Casting industries play a crucial role in various industrial sectors like Defence, Automotive
sectors, Construction, Agriculture, Aerospace, Oil & Gas (energy sector), Mining, Railroad …

The process of casting solidification is complex in nature and the simulation of such process
is required in industry before it is actually undertaken. The defects like shrinkage cavity …

Among the industrial activities sand casting process still remains as one of the most complex
and indefinite activities. Due to the complex relationship between casting defects and green …

The article presents the attempt to optimize a gating system to produce cast steel castings. It
is based on John Campbell's theory and presents the original results of computer modelling …

The effect of pressurizing speed of low pressure casting on mold filling and mechanical
properties of A356 alloy was studied. The mold filling behavior was calculated by two phase …

Mechanical properties of the castings are directly affected negatively by the inclusions, such
as its own oxide occurring during melting, if proper and logical liquid metal processes could …

Defects data and design optimization of gating system are a great challenge in casting. Most
significant factors contributing to the volumetric changes and defects are pouring …

Computer modeling using a commercially available software package was used to explore
the optimization of filling systems based on the relatively new concepts of avoiding …
