Mold filling, gating system, metal velocityAbstract
Quality of aluminum alloy castings rely on the gating system design and its ability to provide controlled filling with lower than critical velocities. Runner exit velocities for several runner shapes were calculated by the trajectory tracking method by ejecting the melt through the open horizontal runner.
