A Design Study in Centrifugal Steel Castings -
Accumulator Cylinder
The Casting Design Issues
The
casting design engineers at Spuncast of Watertown, WI focused on three
imperatives --
-- Design
for Performance
-- Design for Production
-- Design for Cost
Critical Casting Design Issues --The requirements for performance,
casting production , and cost are closely interconnected. Four casting design
issues played a major role in meeting the three design imperatives.
Select
a steel
alloy system that meets the mechanical property
and corrosion resistance requirements and reduces costs.
Choose
the casting
method that
rapidly produces flaw-free cast cylinders.
