Metal Casting Simulation: Recipe for Disaster “Textbook” 1-4-4 Ratio Based Fill System
As a matter of comparison; here is a modelled “textbook” AFS 1-4-4 fill system. The temperature colour gradient = Top:1600C Bottom:1550C Alloy: 1026 Carbon Steel DO NOT USE THESE ANTIQUATED, ARBITRARY METAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS. THEY ARE INADEQUATE AND CANNOT PRODUCE WORLD-CLASS CASTINGS.
Metal Casting Simulation: Disamatic Bearing Cap Fill, Vertically Parted Mold
The waterfall action of the metal entering each cavity is a nightmare and needs to be eliminated. You are certain to find that the first “dribbles” of metal entering the cavity will end up as an “inclusion” in the casting. In all situations it is important to prevent the metal from free-falling.
