Case Study
Casting of thin Aluminium Alloy (Al-Si) Plates
![Page 15: Foundry Technology II · Shrinkage allowance for alluminium alloys is 16 mm/m. These allowances shall be added to the pattern parts in the mould cavity Pattern Dimension =Actual Dimension](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062916/5eba9fd9f87d1c357d1fc85e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Gating System Design for Casting thin AluminiumAlloy (Al-Si) Plates
This study describes the design of a gating system to produce thin Aluminiumcast alloy plates
The plates are of different sizes and thicknesses of 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm
A non-pressurized gating with ratio of 1:4:4 and green sand mouldingtechnique was used
The gating design was based on the laws of fluid mechanics and empirical rules of gating for non ferrous metals.
![Page 16: Foundry Technology II · Shrinkage allowance for alluminium alloys is 16 mm/m. These allowances shall be added to the pattern parts in the mould cavity Pattern Dimension =Actual Dimension](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062916/5eba9fd9f87d1c357d1fc85e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why Gating System Design
It has been shown that an optimum gating system design could reduce the turbulence in the melt flow; minimize air entrapment, minimize sand inclusion, minimize oxide film and dross
Also, relatively slower filling might generate cold shuts
Furthermore, porosity which is a common defect in casting also could result from improper design of gating system

Engineering and Pattern Drawing
• Pattern Allowances
• Shrinkage allowance for Aluminium alloys is 16mm/m.
• These allowances shall be added to the pattern parts in the mould cavity.
• Pattern Dimension = Actual Dimension + Shrinkage allowance
• For PART A
• Pattern thickness = 4 + (0.004×16) = 4.064 mm
• Pattern length = 80 + (0.08×16) = 81.28 mm
• Pattern breath = 40 + (0.04×16) = 40.64 mm
SN Actual Dimension [mm]
Part Length Breath Thickness
1 A 80 40 4
2 B 120 60 6
3 C 160 80 8
4 D 200 100 10
Don’t forget machining allowance where it is needed
![Page 21: Foundry Technology II · Shrinkage allowance for alluminium alloys is 16 mm/m. These allowances shall be added to the pattern parts in the mould cavity Pattern Dimension =Actual Dimension](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062916/5eba9fd9f87d1c357d1fc85e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Dimensions of the pattern plates
Table below shows the dimensions of the pattern plates used in the design of a gating for four thin Aluminium alloy plates.
![Page 22: Foundry Technology II · Shrinkage allowance for alluminium alloys is 16 mm/m. These allowances shall be added to the pattern parts in the mould cavity Pattern Dimension =Actual Dimension](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062916/5eba9fd9f87d1c357d1fc85e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Step 1: Calculate the total weight of castings
W = ρ×V
where: W = total weight of casting, ρ = density, V = total volume of casting.
V = 13411.07 + 45335.68 + 107420.69 + 209754.42 = 375921.86 mm3
W = 2500×375921.86×(10-3)3 = 0.9399Kg
![Page 23: Foundry Technology II · Shrinkage allowance for alluminium alloys is 16 mm/m. These allowances shall be added to the pattern parts in the mould cavity Pattern Dimension =Actual Dimension](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062916/5eba9fd9f87d1c357d1fc85e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Step 2: Calculate the pouring rate and pouring time
Pouring rate formula for non-ferrous gating:
where: R=pouring rate, b=constant, depends on wall thickness; typical values of b are shown on Table 2.
Table 2. Values of constant (b) for different Casting thickness [14]
where: Ra = adjusted pouring rate, K = metal fluidity, C = the effect of friction with values of 0.85-0.90 for tapered sprues in the gating system.
Pouring Time
where: t = pouring time [14].
![Page 24: Foundry Technology II · Shrinkage allowance for alluminium alloys is 16 mm/m. These allowances shall be added to the pattern parts in the mould cavity Pattern Dimension =Actual Dimension](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062916/5eba9fd9f87d1c357d1fc85e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Step 3: Calculate the effective sprue height
Sprue height H sprue = 100mm [15]
Height of casting in the cope H1 = 5 mm
Total height of casting H2 = 10mm, then using equation below from [14]:
where: Hp = effective sprue height.
![Page 25: Foundry Technology II · Shrinkage allowance for alluminium alloys is 16 mm/m. These allowances shall be added to the pattern parts in the mould cavity Pattern Dimension =Actual Dimension](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062916/5eba9fd9f87d1c357d1fc85e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Step 4: Calculate the choke cross sectional area
• The flow rate equation:
• H p = effective sprue height (mm), C = discharge coefficient (0.8), g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s 2 ), R a = adjusted pouring rate (Kg/s) and t = pouring time (s) [16].
where: Ac = choke area (mm2 ), W = casting weight (Kg), ρ = density of molten metal (kg/m3 ),
![Page 26: Foundry Technology II · Shrinkage allowance for alluminium alloys is 16 mm/m. These allowances shall be added to the pattern parts in the mould cavity Pattern Dimension =Actual Dimension](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062916/5eba9fd9f87d1c357d1fc85e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Gating Design Calculations
For this study on aluminium alloys, we shall be using the non-pressurized gating system with a gating ratio of:
As:Ar:Ag=1:4:4 (Non pressurized gating ratio)
where As = the cross sectional area of the sprue exit, Ar = the cross sectional area of the Runner(s) and A g = the cross sectional area of the ingate(s).
The choke (the smallest cross sectional area) is at the sprue base exit therefore.
As =Ac
where Ac = the cross sectional area of the choke.

These allowances shall be added to the pattern parts in the mould cavity Pattern Dimension =Actual Dimension](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062916/5eba9fd9f87d1c357d1fc85e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pattern Allowances
Shrinkage allowance for alluminium alloys is 16 mm/m.
These allowances shall be added to the pattern parts in the mould cavity
Pattern Dimension =Actual Dimension + Shrinkage allowance
For 4 mm thickness plate, actual length = 80 mm and breath = 40 mm
Pattern thickness = 4 +[0.004x16] = 4.064 mm
Pattern length = 80 +[0.08x16] = 81.28
