Introduction of Gravity Die - Casting

• Gravity die casting is a manufacturing process for producing accurately dimensioned, sharply defined, smooth or textured-surface metal parts. Gravity die casting is a simple casting process which utilizes reusable metallic mould. It is mostly suited to casting light alloys but can also be used for steel and cast irons.

Introduction of Gravity Die Casting

Advantages:– Good surface texture. – Equipment costs are relatively low. – No need for applied pressure, so mould designs tend to be quite

simple. – Scrap metal can be recycled.– Quick set up times.– To achieve a mass production with better reproduction.– Castings ranging from few grams to 100 Kg of Aluminium alloy can

be cast.– The GDC process is capable of achieving 20% higher mechanical

properties than that of a sand casting because of faster rate of solidification imparting better grain size.

Introduction of Gravity Die Casting

Disadvantages:– High percentage of scrap metal. – High cost and time consuming for machining operation.– High occurrence of porosity, but this can be minimized by slower

pouring. – Only good for simple 3D shapes.

Literature ReviewTitle

“Optimized Design of Gating/Riser System in Casting Based on CAD and Simulation Technology”

Author (Paper 01)

Feng Liu

Observation

A foundry can produce the best quality molds, cores and molten aluminum and still end up with a poor quality casting by using poorly designed gating and riser systems.

By using parametric modeling technology by varying each parameter, it is easy to get different casting CAD models.

Based on the predefined optimization objectives of runner and riser, the range analysis method is also used to analyze the simulation result and obtain the optimized runner and risers’ parameters.

Title“Mold Filling Simulation for Predicting Gas Porosity”

Author (Paper 02)Kimatsuka Akihiko, Kuroki Yasunori

Observation

This paper presents a method to simulate mould filling while considering the backpressure and gas escape.

The governing discrete equations for the momentum and mass conservation laws were derived by the DFDM (Direct-Finite-Difference-Method). Simulated mould filling patterns agreed rather well with the

results directly observed by X-ray apparatus.

Title“Stress and Fatigue Analysis in Die casting”

Author (Paper 03)Marco Aloe, Calcom ESI, Switzerland Mark Samonds

Observation In casting Process Gating systems, overflows, venting channels can be optimized

using CAD software. ProCAST readily addresses all these issues but also includes advanced features to better assess the

casting quality.

The generalization of CAD modelling and the increase in performance of computers now allows for these technologies to be applied by the casting industry to full industrial applications.

Title“Optimal riser design in sand casting process with evolutionary topology optimization”

Author (Paper 12)R. Tavakoli, P. Davami

Observation The riser topology is systematically modified to minimize the riser volume, while simultaneously ensuring that no defect appears in the product. In this approach, we

combine finite-difference analysis of the solidification process with evolutionary topology optimization to systematically improve the feeding system design.

Meshing of Shell Core Drum• Introduction of MeshCAST

MeshCAST generates a 3-D tetrahedral mesh using the Finite Element Method (FEM). A triangular surface mesh of the object is the prerequisite for MeshCAST's "tet mesh" generation. Based upon your IGES, PARASOLIDS, STEP, or STL model, MeshCAST can generate the triangular surface mesh. Alternatively, MeshCAST can use the surface mesh from your CAD or CAE package as input for tet mesh generation.

MeshCAST is a powerful engineering, design and analytical tool. Some of the features which contribute to the strength of MeshCAST include:

1) Flexibility

2) Rapid mesh generation

3) Robust repair and manipulation tools

4) Extensive model checking

5) The ability to process and produce a variety of input and output file formats

Steps in Taguchi Method • Formulation of the problem – the success of any experiment is dependent on a full

understanding of the nature of the problem.• Identification of the output performance characteristics most relevant to the

problem.• Identification of control factors, noise factors and signal factors (if any). Control

factors are those which can be controlled under normal production conditions. Noise factors are those which are either too difficult or too expensive to control under normal production conditions. Signal factors are those which affect the mean performance of the process.

• Selection of factor levels, possible interactions and the degrees of freedom associated with each factor and the interaction effects.

• Design of an appropriate Orthogonal Array (OA).• Preparation of the experiment.• Running of the experiment with appropriate data collection.• Statistical analysis and interpretation of experimental results.

18/04/2023 71

Signal To Noise Ratio (S/N ratio)

Page 72: Taguchi Method Calculation & Analysis

18/04/2023 72

Conti…• This technique helps in data analysis and prediction of optimum results. In

order to evaluate optimal parameter settings, Taguchi method uses a statistical measure of performance called signal-to-noise ratio. The S/N ratio takes both the mean and the variability into account. The S/N ratio is the ratio of the mean (Signal) to the standard deviation (Noise). The ratio depends on the quality characteristics of the product/process to be optimized. The standard S/N ratios generally used are as follows:

o Nominal-is-Best (NB)o Lower-the-better (LB)o Higher- the- Better (HB).

Conclusion• The Taguchi’s approach has been carried out for optimizing the

parameters of shell core drum. Three input parameters have been optimized using SNR. The smaller-the-better quality characteristic has been used for minimizing the porosity of the drum. An L9 orthogonal array with three parameters and three levels has been used for predict set of parameter which gives value of predicated porosity. 9 numbers of experiments were done for those sets of parameters. Experimental values of performance were put in the Minitab software16 and software predicated porosity is 8.4044 % for set of runner height 111 mm, riser height 75 mm and runner width 47 mm. This suggested set of parameter which gives optimum performance of porosity. Validation experiment was done for that set of parameter and compared with predicated value. This experimental value of % of porosity is very closer to the predicated values.

• Result obtained from validation experiments using optimum parameter combination gives excellent agreement with predicated results.

• The performance of the optimized model is better than the original model and also prove that taguchi parameter design concept is more powerful and efficient tool for minimize the porosity.

• The FEA based taguchi methods have effectively decrease the time and efforts required for evaluating the design variables.

Scope of Future Work• In our thesis work, we optimized parameters for porosity by

applying FEA-DOE method.

By this method, we will optimize other parameters which were not used in this experiment for porosity.– This method will be also used for other cast product.– This method will be also used for any casting process.– This experiment will be done for same porosity by other DOE

method or other optimization techniques.– Gating/riser Optimization used orthogonal matrix and range to

optimize the gating and riser design. Other optimization methods may be explored; one runner and riser shape currently used was analyzed. Other shapes should be explored.
