Critical Casting Design Issues --The requirements for performance,
casting production, and cost are closely interconnected. Three casting design
issues played a major role in meeting the three design imperatives.
-
Select
a steel
alloy that meets the mechanical
requirements and reliably produces these four different size castings in a sound condition.
-
Select
a molding
method that produces the required dimensional tolerances
and
surface finish in a cost-effective manner.
-
Develop
a casting
and mold design that produces flaw-free
within-tolerance connectors at the best cost.
