Abstract
The gating and riser system design plays
an important role in the quality. Due to the lack of
existing theoretical procedures the designing
processes are normally carried on a trial and error
basis. This paper review casting produced by foundry
with internal shrinkage as a major defect was
analyzed and identified that gating and feeding
system was improperly designed. The designed gating
system reduced defect and increase yield. Finally, a
more reasonable gating system was obtained by
analysis of drawing and method effective
calculations. In the current global competitive
environment there is a need for the casting units and
foundries to develop the components in short lead
time. Defect free castings with minimum production
cost have become the need of foundry.
