Abstract

In the advancement of smart production across all types of casting processes, this paper analyzes the importance of process parameters and the latest developments in modern tool development. Different influencing variables such as size, location and number of gates on feeding mechanisms were addressed in relation to casting defects. The study shows a decrease in the defects of the casting parts by selecting an optimized feed template such as air bubbles, blow cracks, shrinkage defects and mechanical properties. Factors affecting the hot spot location were found to be variations in the radius of fillets and the thickness of feeding devices. The mobility of the hot spot was therefore regulated by geometrical modifications in the feeding system. Additionally, by proper feeding system arrangement, the development of pinholes and solidification flaws could be minimized. The rapid growth in the use of simulation technology in the casting process would help to increase yields by reducing the cost of production. This article provides their industrial applications with a database relating to the merits and demerits of different factors and material systems in order to allow for more casting process research.
