A Design Study in Steel Castings - Steel Plates
in BOP Valve
Lessons
Learned
Pacific Steel Casting
engineers worked in close collaboration with the OEM system engineers to develop a
component design which met the performance and quality standards and could be cast in a
cost-effective process.
Key “Lessons
Learned” were --
Selection of the right alloy is key to achieving the required
strength and hardness.
Solidification modeling is a powerful tool for quickly producing a
flaw-free casting with the minimum number of mold design iterations.
