Using Simulation to Improve the Quality of the Metallic Industrial Components Made by Rapid Casting

Abstract:

Industrial parts with complex shapes are characterized by thin sections and complex geometries. Rapid vacuum casting is an ideal technology to manufacture complicated parts in small series production or prototypes. Contributions regarding simulation and analyzing of the parts made by rapid vacuum casting technology are presented in this study. Using dedicated software for simulating the casting process was analyzed and optimized the time of casting, the complete filling with material and also reducing the surface defects.
