Experimental investigation of flow parameters with the effect of design of multi gating system for casting industries

Casting is a traditional manufacturing process used for the production of many engineering components especially in the field of transport industries. For achieving quality casting components, the effective design of the gating system is standing front. This work aims to address the two different types of gating system namely End Sprue Parallel Connection (ESPC) and Center Sprue Parallel Connection (CSPC) through experimental investigations. The parameters like velocity and discharge were analyzed with the source of water medium. Since, the results obtained from this work can be applicable for any other metal which is having the similar kinematic viscosity of water. Data were recorded by closing different gates in different time. The uniform flow of material was achieved throughout the cavity due to the equidistant arrangement. Further, the higher or equal discharge was found in the case of CSPC gating design almost in all the cases and this two comparative results was very use full for develop optimum runner and gate findings in multi cavity system.Casting is a traditional manufacturing process used for the production of many engineering components especially in the field of transport industries.
