Çolak, Murat; Şekerden, Mete
In the casting method, it is crucial to properly make the moulding design to produce sound parts. Volumetric change, especially during the solidification of spheroidal graphite cast irons, may show different behaviour compared to steel and aluminium castings. In this study, castings were carried out with single and double feeders with varying casting parameters of green sand and resin mould sand containing different cross-sectional thicknesses. Depending on the chemical composition, mould rigidity and inoculation efficiency, and the importance of the feeder path was evaluated by experimental and modelling techniques. Consequently, it was observed that the risk of shrinkage in resin moulds is less than in green sand castings in the same moulding design. In addition, it has been found that the number of feeders and neck connection is an important parameter in pore formation.

Working with liquid metal makes the casting method very advantageous, but also presents some difficulties. One of the common challenges in the casting process is that the liquid metal may not fill the mold cavity completely. This is mainly due to the contact of the liquid metal with the mold surface in the mold cavity, the high heat transfer coefficient of the mold material, and the undercooling and solidification of the liquid metal during liquid movements. For this reason, the fluidity of the liquid metal is important for robust casting production. The fluidity is affected by many factors such as mold properties, casting temperature, and alloying elements. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the fluidity characteristics of GGG60 alloy. For this purpose, the effects of casting temperature, different inoculants, and different inoculant quantities were used in the new mold design, which has different cross-sectional thicknesses. The distance of the alloy in the cavities was also compared with FlowCast Casting simulation software.
