| Abstract Scope |
Defect free casting begins with starting melt cleanliness, casting speed and well-designed runner systems. Failure of one of these three main components has a significant negative impact on the quality of part. The ASTM B108/B 108M mold is the most common mold used to obtain a tensile specimen. New mold designs were proposed in this work that would provide statistically reproducible results. Filling analyzes of the designs were made in the Anycast software. In order to evaluate the tensile test results of the samples cast with Al-7Si-0.3Mg alloy. T6 heat treatment was carried out, and the quality index values were calculated. The reliability of the results was evaluated using survivability plots. |
