67th World Foundry Congress
Over the years foundries have been looking for ways to improve their
process. IBERIA ASHLAND and INASMET TECNALIA, together with
BETSAIDE S.A.L. have implemented an innovative solution for methoding
castings to ensure the integrity of the finished parts by using their latest
development of customized insulating shapes combined with advanced
simulation techniques. This study will show how improvements can be
achieved in the mechanical characteristics of a casting by eliminating
graphite deformation and shrinkage defects through the use of customized
sleeves and insulating cores made of advanced moulding materials.
Additionally, by utilizing the latest in simulation techniques, various
compositions of the insulating materials can be \"tested\" effectively,
allowing us to compare the final casting, without the need and related cost
to produce multiple iterations of the part.
