The Casting Design Issues
The
casting design engineers at Huron Castings of Pigeon, MI focused on three
imperatives --
-- Design
for Performance
-- Design for Production/Castability
-- Design for Cost
Critical Casting Design Issues --The requirements for performance,
castability/ manufacturability, and cost are closely interconnected. Four casting design
issues played a major role in meeting the three design imperatives.
Select the steel composition that meets the
performance and casting requirements.
Choose a molding system that meets tolerance and cost targets.
