| Abstract Scope |
Proper gating systems can be the determining factor of whether a cast part has excellent quality, or defects present. This is why optimizing gate systems plays an important role in improving the quality of cast parts. Due to the lack of precision in gate creation methods, inconsistencies exist across different casting processes. This research aims to address this by developing a framework for the creation of a universal gating system. Through an analysis of various gate systems using Inspire Cast and examining cast yields with various gating systems, this study seeks to develop a universal gating tool to ensure consistent and efficient casts. The goals of this study include achieving optimal metal flow, minimizing defects, and enhancing yield. This universal gating system offers a standard approach to gate design, which leads to improved quality and efficiency, reductions in production costs, and enhancements in the quality of cast components. |
