Download or read book Part Design and Topology Optimization for Rapid Sand and Investment Casting written by Jiayi Wang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration of additive manufacturing into traditional metal casting provides a wide range of rapid casting solutions. One important motive for rapid casting is additive manufacturings ability to create highly complex objects without any fixture or tooling requirements. Such advantages provide great design freedom for the geometry of cast metal parts. The objective in this thesis is to explore the part design opportunistic and restrictions of two rapid casting processes: (1) sand casting with 3D Sand Printing-fabricated molds and (2) investment casting using material extrusionfabricated wax-like patterns. Knowledge-based design guidelines are developed for both of these rapid casting processes through novel integration of topology optimization with design for casting and design for AM principles. For each process, a case study is conducted in which a mechanical metal benchmark is topologically optimized and redesigned following the proposed design rules. The redesigned parts are successfully cast and demonstrate improvements in mechanical performance and weight reduction.
Download or read book Rapid Tooling Via Investment Casting and Rapid Prototype Patterns written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this work to develop the materials processing and design technologies required to reduce the die development time for metal mold processes from 12 months to 3 months, using die casting of Al and Mg as the example process. Sandia demonstrated that investment casting, using rapid prototype patterns produced from Stereo lithography or Selective laser Sintering, was a viable alternative/supplement to the current technology of machining form wrought stock. A demonstration die insert (ejector halt) was investment cast and subsequently tested in the die casting environment. The stationary half of the die insert was machined from wrought material to benchmark the cast half. The two inserts were run in a die casting machine for 3,100 shots of aluminum and at the end of the run no visible difference could be detected between the cast and machined inserts. Inspection concluded that the cast insert performed identically to the machined insert. Both inserts had no indications of heat checking or degradation.

Download or read book Materials Selection in Mechanical Design written by Michael F. Ashby and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-12-30 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding materials, their properties and behavior is fundamental to engineering design, and a key application of materials science. Written for all students of engineering, materials science and design, this book describes the procedures for material selection in mechanical design in order to ensure that the most suitable materials for a given application are identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available. Fully revised and expanded for this third edition, Materials Selection in Mechanical Design is recognized as one of the leading texts, and provides a unique and genuinely innovative resource. Features new to this edition • New chapters on topics including process selection, material and shape selection, design of hybrid materials, environmental factors and industrial design. • Reader-friendly approach and attractive, easy to use two-color presentation. • The methods developed in the book are implemented in Granta Design's widely used CES Educational software. Materials are introduced through their properties; materials selection charts (now available on line) capture the important features of all materials, allowing rapid retrieval of information and application of selection techniques. Merit indices, combined with charts, allow optimization of the materials selection process. Sources of material property data are reviewed and approaches to their use are given. Material processing and its influence on the design are discussed. New chapters on environmental issues, industrial engineering and materials design are included, as are new worked examples, and exercise materials. New case studies have been developed to further illustrate procedures and to add to the practical implementation of the text. The new edition of the leading materials selection text Expanded and fully revised throughout, with new material on key emerging topics, an even more student-friendly approach, and attractive, easy to use two-color presentation

Download or read book Integrated Product and Process Design and Development written by Edward B. Magrab and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-07-23 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Integrated Product and Process Design and Development (IP2D2) method is quickly becoming the new standard for the rapid creation of competitively priced, high-quality products. IP2D2 indicates, in the broadest sense, the overlapping, interacting, and iterative nature of all of the aspects of the product realization process. The method is a continuous process whereby a product's cost, performance and features, value, and time-to-market lead to a company's increased profitability and market share. This new text/reference reflects the sweeping changes this approach has brought to traditional engineering design courses and to industry. Carefully organized, with sections on each major stage of the approach, Integrated Product and Process Design and Development: The Product Realization Process is the first complete treatment of this new direction in engineering. The book is designed to help you cultivate an attitude toward design that encourages creativity and innovation, while considering the equally important considerations of customer requirements and satisfaction, quality, reliability, manufacturing methods and material selection, assembly, cost, the environment, and scheduling. Extensively class tested in senior- and graduate-level engineering design courses at the University of Maryland, the book gives equal time to conceptual and practical aspects. As each concept is introduced and explained, two book-long examples provide you with a realistic sense of how a product's creation progresses through its various stages. Numerous checklists and other practical guidelines help you learn to apply the IP2D2 method to your own work. Students and newly graduated engineers will appreciate the modern perspective that more nearly reflects what they will encounter in practice than what is obtainable in traditional texts. For more experienced practicing engineers, this is the new information they need to keep up with recent rapid changes and stay marketable today and in the future.

Download or read book Casting Processes and Modelling of Metallic Materials written by Zak Abdallah and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-02-24 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, Casting Processes and Modelling of Metallic Materials, explores the various casting and modelling activities related to metallic alloy systems. The book provides results of research work conducted by experts from all over the globe to add to the research community in the era of the casting process and modelling. The book was edited by two experts in the field of materials science and modelling, Dr. Abdallah and Dr. Aldoumani, whom both have several publications in peer-reviewed journals, worldwide conferences, and scientific books. The book introduces the casting processes and then discusses the various issues and possible solutions. Over the past years, various models have been proposed and utilized to predict the performance of castings. Some of these models proved to be accurate whereas others failed to predict the casting performance. The strength of any predictive tool depends on the employment of physically meaningful parameters that replicate the real-life conditions. This has been illustrated in the current book with such predictive models and finite element (FE) modelling to illustrate the behaviour of castings in real-life conditions.
