Hub

It might be difficult to find a ductile iron foundry that has not produced a hub. It also would come as no surprise to learn that many of these foundries have had problems to produce Hub with the soundness.
 Hub     Part Name :Hub

This case study is a simple example of minimizing 
the riser and gating system by using 
SUTCAST software

The number of risers is decreased from 4 to 1 in the first try. As you see in the second modification, the riser shape is changed into an optimum geometry, resulting to improved casting yield while the casting quality is maintained. Optimization and Casting yield is an important factor in cutting production costs. With Using SUTCAST’s advanced modules and precise algorithms; it is promising to reach a high yield through managing the design parameters.
