Thermal analysis of two and three-gate sand casting mould

A study of thermal characteristics of the molten metal in sand casting process had been carried out. This comprises of experimental work and modeling of casting process. Two sand molds are fabricated using the carbon dioxide-silicate method. One of them has 2 gates and the other one has 3 gates. Da...
