Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to examine the shrinkage flaw in grey cast iron. The poor gating system design, improper composition management, and solid sections with a high modulus (Volume/ Surface area) in the casting are the root causes of the shrinkage fault. The gating mechanism can first be redesigned in order to lessen shrinkage. A new gating system with a different chemical makeup is suggested. Grey cast iron's composition changed due to an increase in carbon content. Thus, proCAST is used to develop and analyze the gating system. Implementing the planned gating system in the foundry served to validate the results. It is accomplished to increase the effective yield
