Abstract

Casting process deals with the metal in the molten state. When the molten metal is poured into the mold box, Smooth and turbulence less flow with appropriate velocity is need to be ensured. Type of flow while pouring the molten metal has significant influence on the end characteristics of casting. Inefficient metal flow can result in error beyond altering the desired characteristics of casting. Dross formation while pouring the metal has direct connection with the type of flow of molten metal. In short, one cannot neglect the flow of molten metal on other hand expecting sound casting formation. Gating characteristics directly deals with the type of flow expected while pouring. To provide desired flow is one of the functions of efficient gating system. But it is very difficult to consider the flow characteristics while actually designing the gating system. Computer technology has taken leap to aid foundry engineer in control of metal flow. Simulation soft-wares have been equipped with provision of flow analysis while designing the Gating system.
