Abstracts: Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid material is usually poured into a mould ,which contains the hollow cavity of desire shape, and they allowed to solidify. Casting defects results in increased cost and lower morale of shop floor personal, the defects need to be diagonized correctly for appropriate remedial measures otherwise new defects may be introduced. Metal Casting simulation has become a powerful tool to visualize mould filling, solidification and cooling, and to predict the location of internal defects such as shrinkage porosity, inclusions, and cold shuts. And also means to analyse or simulate the casting component and give optimum design of runner & riser and gating system and involves other parameters of operation. It can be used for troubleshooting existing castings, and for developing new castings without shop-floor trials.
