If your business is related to a sand casting process, then you know that consistent core quality is a prerequisite for achieving controllable casting quality. Low density cores can result in core breakage or unacceptable metal penetration. High density cores can result in excessive consumable usage, gas-related casting defects or shakeout difficulty. Uniform, predictable, controllable core density is desired.

While this has been known for some time, solutions have been less obvious. In the 1990s a computational tool was desired to model the sand core blowing and curing processes. Arena-flow, LLC, with the assistance of General Motors, NASA and Auburn University, began development of what would become the Arena-flow sand core engineering software technology. Publications using Arena-flow won the prestigious Howard Taylor award from the American Foundry Society and a best paper award from the World Foundry Organization.

Today foundries, tooling suppliers and OEMs world-wide are utilizing Arena-flow to optimize their sand cores and molds, helping them to:

* produce consistent cores, molds and castings with confidence

* gain insight into core-related casting defects

* reduce new tooling startup iterations and costs

* optimize process cycle times

* minimize capital costs

* minimize scrap

* minimize consumable usage

* reduce machine down time

* reduce tooling wear and maintenance costs

"In today's market, our customers not only want fast turn-around, they demand high quality tooling that's 'right the first time'," said Perrin Rondeau, CEO of Winona Pattern & Mold. "That's why we utilize the proven Arena-flow technology to design and validate our sand core tooling."

The Arena-flow sand core engineering technology can be utilized through both software licensing and engineering services.
