Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have to design a casting for a complex part. Discuss the considerations you must take into account for flow dynamics, solidification, and gating.
💡 Hint: Think about how all these factors interact and the final purpose of the cast part.
A casting design leads to frequent defects in production. Evaluate potential flaws in the design regarding gating system and cooling rates, and propose solutions.
💡 Hint: Connect the defects observed with the theoretical principles we've discussed.
