One of our customers from North America makes Steering systems and Brake systems for major auto OEMs. They have a new Hybrid model, which required High-Quality standards, such as NSD level casting (Non-Significant defect) and Good mechanical properties, they came to use it to find the solution and make the “ FIRST TIME RIGHT – PPAP “. We engaged our Iron casting expert team and did the precise flow simulation before the tool cut.
Why it’s important to perform the flow simulation when the Iron casting tooling layout design is finalized?
Casting simulation software simulates the way that casting engineers decide the casting process in a virtual platform and also analyzes each decision to point out the design modifications needed to enhance the quality of casting as well as reduce lead time, tooling, and manufacturing costs.. When it comes to Iron casting commodity, Process Consistency isn’t just a minor concern, it’s a MAJOR problem. We NA-Mfg, always design the gating layout in the worst-case scenario to get the sound casting. This will help the foundry team to make the efficient process in the first go.
Flow simulation holds great potential to make a remarkable impact, It can help:
- Improve casting soundness
- Improve casting yield
- Reduce the PPAP Sample Lead time
- First Time Right ( FTR )
- Reduce the tooling reworks
- Reduce the in-direct expenses
We do flow simulation in different methods to improve the casting quality as well as increase the yield %, which will help the customer to get competitive pricing.
Conducting a mold flow simulation allows engineers to save time during the development process, cutting costs significantly. These financial savings are then passed onto the company purchasing agent, who boosts sales by offering more affordable pricing to buyers.
