A very good manner good match between between them them is observed. The temperatures of control points in the the sand sand mold and casting casting are used used to to compare compare the the results results betwe between en computati computational onal model model and experime experiment nt in a qualitative qualitative manner. The validation is made against experimental data obtained from a thesis of previous research. Sand casting is ascertaine ascertained d for a block of dimension dimension 160mm x 75mm x 36mm. This paper intends to validate the integrity and reliability of MAGMAsoft for the simulation of metal flow and and solidification solidification during during the casting casting process.
Various computational packages of CAD/CAE systems can be used to assist in mold design and prediction of casting quality ahead of mass production. Trial-and-error method to produce casting products from design to manufacturing is too costly and not effective.
Foundries must be able to meet the just in time (JIT) requirement in order to survive in the competitive market and to achieve customer satisfaction. VALIDA V ALIDATION TION OF MAGMASOFT SIMULATION SIMULATION OF THE SAND CASTING PROCESS Shamsuddin Sulaiman, Lim Ying Pioĭepartment of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, SelangorĪBSTRACT There is an increasing demand in manufacturing environment for the best quality of casting products at the right time and quantity.
