Reducing casting defects in ductile iron castings by optimized pouring system

Abstract

In the study, various version pouring systems have been designed for ductile iron castings in the industrial conditions and a computer-aided design solid modeling program was used in the design of pouring systems for ductile iron castings. Pouring system for ductile iron castings and the gating system ratio of the casting part was selected as 1:3,5: 2,5. The flow and solidification of the casting part was simulated by using magma flow and solidification program. The study clearly shows that the kalpur direct pouring system has revealed that it plays a significant role in preventing non-metallic casting defects in ductile iron castings. In addition, it has been observed in the study that clean parts can be obtained in ductile iron castings with an effective and well-designed pouring system design.
