Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a casting design where the volume is twice that of a previous successful design. Based on Chvorinov's Rule, predict the changes needed to be made to the gating system to accommodate increased solidification time.
💡 Hint: Think of how larger volumes affect solidification compared to surface area.
In a simulation, a certain alloy shows excessive shrinkage porosity. Identify at least three design factors in the gating and riser system that could be adjusted to improve performance.
💡 Hint: Consider the flow dynamics as they relate to the casting process.
