What is Metal Flow Simulation?
Metal flow simulation is a sophisticated computer-aided engineering (CAE) technique used to predict and optimize the flow of molten metal during the casting process. This advanced technology allows us to visualize the entire casting process before actual production begins.
By simulating the metal flow, we can identify potential defects, optimize gating systems, and ensure uniform filling of the mold cavity, resulting in superior casting quality.
Key Benefits
- Prediction and prevention of casting defects before production
- Optimization of gating and feeding systems
- Reduction in trial-and-error during die design
- Improved yield and reduced material waste
- Shorter time-to-market for new products
★ Applications What We
What We
Analyze
Filling Pattern
- Analysis of how molten metal flows through the mold cavity to identify cold shuts, misruns, and air entrapment issues.
Solidification
- Evaluation of cooling patterns to predict shrinkage, porosity, and hot spots that could affect casting integrity.
Thermal Stress
- Assessment of temperature gradients and thermal stresses to prevent cracking and warping during cooling.
