  4. 3. Aspects of gating system improvement in a cast iron foundry

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Fahami Annan Green; Felix Göttfert; [2021]
    Keywords : Gating system; Cast iron; Foundry; Pouring basin; Offset step basin; Sprue; Ingjutssystem; Gjutjärn; Gjuteri; Gjutskål; Förskjuten steggjutskål; Nedlopp;

    Abstract : The gating system transfers the iron melt from the ladle to the void in the casting mould. The gating systems dimensions and designs are crucial for the success of a casting and a poor gating system is a leading cause of scraps. READ MORE
