| The
gates into the casting serve as the path by which molten metal flows from
the runners into the
mold cavity.
Proper design
of the gating system is critical in meeting two important requirements.
-
Gating
should feed into relatively heavy
and thick sections which will solidify more
slowly.
-
Short flow paths and
controlled metal flow in the casting prevent casting
misruns due to premature solidification.
