Software improves foundry gating design method. (New product).A new tool from Ashland Specialty Chemical A Specialty chemical is a chemical produced for a specialized use. They are produced in lower volume than bulk chemicals, of which petrochemicals, made from oil feedstocks, are the most common. However, both are produced in a chemical plant. Co., Dublin, Ohio Dublin is a city in Delaware, Franklin, and Union counties in the U.S. state of Ohio. The population was 31,392 at the 2000 census. In 2006, the population was estimated to be 36,565[1], and Dublin continues to be one of the fastest-growing suburbs of Columbus. , helps foundries design gating and risering systems for greater consistency and maximum yield. Suitable for jobbing and production foundries, the ExactCalc software program offers a systematic and scientific approach to methoding in accordance with 150 9000 standards. Sub-programs are provided for: weight and modulus See modulo. estimations, feeding distance, feeder feeder abbreviation for self-feeders. Used in feeding groups of animals at intervals of several days. Feed has to be dry and comminuted so that it will run down the spouts from the hopper into the troughs. size and filter calculations, horizontal-and velocity-based runner systems and an online help file. Selection of the correct riser sleeve and filter is simplified using the software's Filter size subprogram sub·pro·gram n. A computer program contained within another program that operates semi-independently of the encasing program. Noun 1. . All methoding data can be stored as a computer file and/or printed to produce a permanent record for future reference. It features a "learn" function that can incorporate a foundry's best practices, experiences and quality systems in conjunction with gating and risering system design. This allows the software to build and maintain a database of knowledge and procedures customized to each foundry. Currently in early use at steel and ductile iron Ductile iron, also called ductile cast iron or nodular cast iron, is a type of cast iron invented in 1943 by Keith Millis[1]. While most varieties of cast iron are brittle, ductile iron is much more ductile, as the name implies. foundries, the program optimizes the design of their gating and risering systems by incorporating their previous successes and applying those parameters to other jobs where they have traditionally been less successful. The result provides greater consistency, improved yields and a better understanding of the variables that exist within each foundry. An interactive, user-friendly design also allows it to serve as an educational tool for training foundry engineers in the basic principles of gating and risering. It lets the user quickly determine the effects of parameter changes such as alloy type, pouring temperature, pouring time and adding chills or cooling fins. The software offers a custom solution to help reduce casting problems and defects and to accumulate an electronic library of facility operations knowledge. It is available in both metric and US-measure systems and is compatible with Windows 95 or later operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. . |
