Abstract

Designing an appropriate gating/risering system, some defects can be minimized such as cracks, distortion, shrinkage
porosity, warpage, sink, and shrinkage cavity by simulating the directional solidification using casting software. In this study, the
component from industry i.e. manhole cover is leading to premature failure of warpage or distortion. Hence, there is requirement
of optimizing the appropriate gating/risering system. In this paper, the actual gating/risering system is simulated to minimize the
warpage defect occurring in the industry while manufacturing. Hence, the simulation for optimizing better gating/risering system
is done by using AutoCAST-X software which is based on Vector Gradient Method (VGM) for defect minimization.
