Foundry Technique Designing of the Nodular Cast Iron Casting
The traditional method has been used to the foundry technique for the melt block mobile plate. The pouring position,the parting face and some of the casting parameters were determined, such as the allowance for finish, stripping taper, the rate of shrinkage and soon on. The commercial casting simulation software was introduced into the casting process, the filling and solidification process were calculated by it. The results shown that there are some shrinkage exists in the original technique and the filling process were inordinate. The gating system was optimized and according to the simulation results, the shrinkages in the original technique were eliminated and the filling process is smoothly which could help the designer to make a correct determination.
