Design Optimisation of the Feeding System of a Novel Counter-Gravity Casting Process

Design Optimisation of the Feeding System of a Novel Counter-Gravity Casting Process

The appropriate design of feeders in a rigging system is critical for ensuring efficient compensation for solidification shrinkage, thus eliminating (shrinkage-related) porosity and contributing to the production of superior quality castings. In this study, a multi-objective optimisation framework c...
