Molten Metal Pouring

Down there is where we made some holes. Here we have a little this big hot right here. That's our purpose. And it's hot in here. If it's hot in here, when it's in the summer, if it's outside, it's like 90° in here. It'll be like 120°. Okay. If you're a little bit confused on how the actual casting process works or what they're doing with those boxes, is don't worry because this clip right here should explain everything for you. So this is Magmasoft. Magmosoft is a software for simulating how metal goes into the casting and then how that metal will uh solidify afterwards. In this program we can actually fill the casting up. Uh right now we have our gaining uh hidden so you cannot see that but you'll see the casting actually filling up. Uh it's very accurate within a second of our normal fill time. Uh we get to see temperatures as it fills, all the variables as it fills that you cannot see that are coming into the mold when it's, you know, hidden from you from your eye. Um and it saves us time as we run this. We can see anything that might be going wrong in the casting. We can see defects. We can see issues with uh metal not feeding to the area with shrink. all of our defects that we we can call out with the casting. So, this is what's going on inside the black sand. The metal's going in. What's going on? This is aluminum filling up your sand or filling up the empty cavity within your sand mold and around your cores. And this is velocity. So, this is the speed that it's coming in. And so, if you have too much velocity, you can get some really nasty looking metal, especially when you cut it and machine into it. casting itself might look good, but once you cut it and machine it, it will not. That's cool. You can see the EGR
