Fig. 1: A challenging task: simulating the casting process to predict component properties. The biggest benefit of the casting process is its ability to perform many tasks at the same time. However, it is also its biggest drawback, as many process parameters are linked to each other and have to be considered simultaneously.

Cast iron – a predictable material

From Art to Science: How Advanced Cast Iron Simulation Delivers Predictable Performance and Quality This technical summary is based on the academic paper “Cast iron – a predictable material” by Jörg C.

Fig. 1. a) cross section of a slab with solidification cracks, b) Reflection configuration: Excitation laser and detection laser are arranged at the same spot. Ultrasonic waves are induced in the sample by an pulsed excitation laser (red), propagate through the sample and get reflected or scattered by interfaces (cracks, blowholes,…). The detection of reflected and scattered ultrasonic waves is realized with a two wave beam mixing interferometer (green). c) Transmission configuration: Excitation laser (red) and detection laser (green) are arranged at the opposite side of the sample.
