Abstract

ABSTRACT In the casting method, it is crucial to properly make the moulding design to produce sound parts. Volumetric change, especially during the solidification of spheroidal graphite cast irons, may show different behaviour compared to steel and aluminium castings. In this study, castings were carried out with single and double feeders with varying casting parameters of green sand and resin mould sand containing different cross-sectional thicknesses. Depending on the chemical composition, mould rigidity and inoculation efficiency, and the importance of the feeder path was evaluated by experimental and modelling techniques. Consequently, it was observed that the risk of shrinkage in resin moulds is less than in green sand castings in the same moulding design. In addition, it has been found that the number of feeders and neck connection is an important parameter in pore formation.
