solution of these defects

Here are some solutions for common casting defects in the foundry industry:

1. Porosity:
   - Use proper gating and riser design to ensure adequate flow and venting of gases.
   - Use degassing agents or processes to remove gases from the molten metal.
   - Increase the pouring temperature to improve fluidity and reduce gas entrapment.
   - Optimize mold and core properties to minimize gas generation.

2. Shrinkage:
   - Use effective risering and gating systems to provide additional molten metal for compensating shrinkage.
   - Modify the mold design to promote directional solidification and minimize shrinkage tendencies.
   - Increase pouring temperature and ensure proper solidification time to reduce shrinkage defects.

3. Inclusions:
   - Ensure proper handling and storage of materials to prevent contamination.
   - Use appropriate filtration systems to remove impurities from the molten metal.
   - Implement proper slag removal techniques during the casting process.

4. Cold shuts:
   - Optimize gating system design to ensure proper fusion of molten metal streams.
   - Increase pouring temperature to enhance fluidity and reduce the likelihood of cold shuts.
   - Modify the mold design to ensure proper filling of the mold cavity.

5. Misruns:
   - Improve mold design to ensure proper filling of the mold cavity.
   - Increase pouring temperature and optimize gating system to improve flowability.
   - Ensure adequate venting to prevent air entrapment and improve mold filling.

6. Sand-related defects:
   - Properly prepare and control the sand mixture to achieve desired mold properties.
   - Use appropriate binders and additives to improve mold strength and reduce defects.
   - Ensure proper compaction and venting of the mold to minimize defects.

7. Warpage:
   - Optimize casting design to minimize thermal gradients and differential cooling rates.
   - Implement controlled cooling techniques to ensure uniform cooling throughout the casting.
   - Use stress-relieving processes after solidification to reduce residual stresses.

8. Hot tearing:
   - Modify casting design to minimize sections with high restraint and differential cooling.
   - Use alloys with improved hot tear resistance.
   - Implement proper risering and gating systems to allow for adequate feeding and reduce stress concentration.

It's important to note that the specific solution for each defect may vary depending on the casting process, materials used, and other factors. Foundries should also implement rigorous quality control measures, such as regular inspection and testing, to identify and rectify defects at various stages of the casting process.type of casting defects

PARAMETER CALCULATION IN HPDC THERE ARE THREE PHASES IN HPDC MACHINES 1 FIRST PHASE :- Slow speed 2 SECOND PHASE :- High Speed 3 THIRD PHASE :- Intensification Pressure or Casting Pressure.                                                                                                          pouring hole Distributor Length / Active sleeve length                                 Biscuit  3rd phase     2nd phase            1st phase    Plunger/shot 1 FIRST PHASE :- Slow speed It is the distance start from plunger starting position to the distance traveled by plunger by which metal reached at cavity gate area.       2 SECOND PHASE :- High Speed It is the Distance traveled by plunger in which casting filled in cavity.In this distance plunger traveled with its high speed of the stroke. How to calculate that travelling distance of plunger that filled the alloy in cavity. velocity Distance   + Biscuit thickness mm The minimum velocity that w

DIE FLASHING PROBLEM

Image
DIE FLASHING When a layer of extra metal around parting line of a parts after shots is die flashing, also during high speed shot when metal get out of die and a biscuit variation occur. TYPES OF DIE FLASHING: 1. FLASH INSIDE THE DIE FACE  2. FLASH OUT OF DIE AND FIRED IN THE AIR 3. FLASH IN SLIDES AREA 1 . FLASH INSIDE THE DIE FACE :-  This types of flash occur only within Die , when we get a parts after shots there is extra metal layer at parting lines of parts. CAUSE:            This flash is occur due to some following reasons              1. Die locking force is low for the die.              2. Cooling of inserts fix/moving.              3. Proper die face not matching. SOLUTIONS :          1. Check Die locking force           2. Check Die cooling.          3. Check die face blue matching.          4. Check Plunger high speed according to required gate speed.          5. Check load distribution on Tie bar 2. FLAS

HPDC casting defects

Types of defects in HPDC (High Pressure Die casting) In this paper we will discuss about aluminum Die casting Casting . Casting defects may be defined as characteristics which create a deficiency or imperfection to quality specification imposed by design and service requirement. Casting defects are caused by non optimized process, failure of material,casting equipment. So the defects can be tolerated and repaired. In aluminum die casting the molten aluminum is poured or injected into metallic die. There are many sources to cast defects and have many names. In this paper an attempt has been made to provide aluminum casting defects with their causes and remedies. 1. visual defect.     a.  non filling     b.  cold flows     c.  Discolored     d.   lamination 2. P orosity.     a. shrink     b. flow     c. gas 3. leakage. 4. blisters 5. sinks 6. drags 7. soldering 8. bending.  9. distortion 10. trim damage VISUAL DEFECTS This kind of defect occur beca
