Casting Process Evaluation

Applicable materials: Suitable for various casting metals and alloy materials such as cast steel, cast iron, alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper alloy, magnesium alloy, zinc alloy, etc.

Applicable objects: covering sand castings, investment precision castings, metal castings, pressure castings, lost foam castings, valve bodies, pump bodies, cylinder bodies, engineering machinery castings, structural component blanks, and pressure equipment castings.

Applicable scenarios: Used for verifying casting process schemes, molding and core making, melting and pouring, evaluation of riser and pouring system design, quality acceptance of castings, analysis of casting defects, process optimization, and evaluation of batch production stability.

Rationality evaluation of casting process: evaluation of molding and core making process, melting system, pouring temperature and speed, pouring system, riser cold iron, sand properties, and cooling system.
Internal quality evaluation: Inspection of internal defects such as porosity, shrinkage, porosity, slag inclusion, inclusions, cracks, segregation, and looseness, as well as non-destructive testing compliance assessment.
Metallographic structure and material evaluation: conformity assessment of matrix structure, graphite morphology, grain size, segregation degree, melt purity, and chemical composition.
Mechanical performance evaluation: Testing and evaluation of indicators such as tensile strength, yield strength, hardness, impact toughness, and elongation at break.
Dimensional accuracy and positional tolerance evaluation: detection and evaluation of external dimensions, wall thickness, machining allowance, coaxiality, flatness, positional accuracy, etc.
Surface quality evaluation: Inspection and evaluation of appearance defects such as cold insulation, insufficient pouring, sand adhesion, cracks, sand holes, flash edges, and scars.
Melting and casting quality evaluation: furnace pre-treatment, spheroidization effect, composition control, casting stability, and melt quality evaluation.
Analysis and determination of casting defects: analysis of the causes of defects such as shrinkage, porosity, slag inclusion in pores, cracks, cold shut, deformation, and segregation.
Post processing compatibility evaluation: evaluation of the compatibility between subsequent processes such as sand cleaning, heat treatment, correction, shot blasting, and casting technology.
Batch molding stability evaluation: evaluation of casting size consistency, defect rate, first pass rate, and process reliability.
