• Gating system is un-pressurized if area is increasing (e.g. 1:4:4) or pressurized if there is a constriction (4:8:3). Gating System Design • Un-pressurized system reduces metal velocity and turbulence • Pressurized systems usually reduce size and weight of gating system (pressure at constriction (gate) causes metal to completely

Casting is a process in which the molten metal is poured into the casting cavity and it is allowed for solidification. After solidification, take the casting out by breaking the mold, called a casting process. In this article, I am going to discuss on Types of Casting Allowances and Types of Casting defects.

The approach taken was determine how the vertical type gating systems used for permanent mold castings can be designed to fill the mold cavity with a minimum of damage to the quality of the resulting casting. It is evident that somewhat different systems are preferred for different shapes and sizes of aluminum castings.
