Analisis Cacat Coran

Fig. 1 Redesign of castings to provide progressive solidification through the use of

tapered walls. (a) Elbow
design. (b) Valve fitting design
Fig. 2 Redesign of a casting to minimize heat concentration. (a) Design has numerous hot
spots (X-junctions)
that will cause the casting to distort. (b) Improved design using Y junctions
Fig. 3 Redesign of castings to eliminate cores. (a) Casting redesigned to eliminate outside
cores. (b)
Simplification of a base plate design to eliminate a core. (c) Redesign of a bracket to
eliminate a core and to
decrease stress problems
 Seven categories of defect are considered, as follows:
• 1. Shaping faults arising in pouring.
• 2. Inclusions and sand defects.
• 3. Gas defects.
• 4. Shrinkage defects due to volume contraction in the
liquid state and
• during solidification.
• 5. Contraction defects occurring mainly or wholly after
solidification.
• 6. Dimensional errors.
• 7. Compositional errors and segregation.
