Summary: | To obtain a right casting methoding of a yoke used in mining industry, a computer simulation of filling of mould cavity as well as casting solidification has been applied. Analysis of the casting solidification showed, that an initial casting methoding, based on common foundry practice, had to be changed. An initial bottom gating system was changed into a side-bottom one, what allowed smooth filling of mould cavity. Modified risering system enabled proper feeding of the casting. Ensuring high quality casting enable to substitute parts manufactured by forging |
