Abstract
The burden calculations for foundry furnaces are one of the most important steps in preparing the production of liquid casting alloys. These calculations, due to the usually large number of input materials and chemical elements, are realized by numerical methods. These methods are implemented in some spreadsheets, universal mathematical programs or in specialized programs for foundry engineering. The paper describes a computerized system for remote calculations of optimal burden. The technological, economic, and organizational features of implementing IT system have been presented, also taking into account its safety of use.
Highlights
Determining the optimal burden of an assumed chemical composition requires the formulation of an optimization task by defining an objective function and a constraints system
Various mathematical models of such an optimization task have been described in publications including [1,2,3,4]
Using the optimization module contained in a spreadsheet as well as the optimal value search function in a mathematical package requires the ability to define a mathematical model
Summary
Determining the optimal burden of an assumed chemical composition requires the formulation of an optimization task by defining an objective function (usually minimum charge cost) and a constraints system. Various mathematical models of such an optimization task have been described in publications including [1,2,3,4]. To solve such tasks, the following can be used:. The much more effective realization of calculations in the given foundry is possible when a specialized program for burden optimization is implemented. It involves the need to purchase such a system, its constant servicing, updates, etc Programs classified in this category can be implemented as single-user or multi-user programs, with one or more levels of user privileges to particular functions. The benefits of technologists using a remote calculation system in foundries will be characterized
