The application of CAD and CAE software to design and selection of foundry technology for casting of grey cast iron – brake disc

Describes the process of casting technology design that produces an iron casting brake disc using CAD and CAE tools. For design calculations of the individual filling and ventilating systems uses the formulas commonly available in the literature for the foundry industry. Design calculations, design CAD software - SOLIDWORKS and numeric simulations MAGMASOFT software made for four different technology. Analysis has allowed the selection of the best casting technology for cast iron brake disc. The selected technology is the best design of the casting system in terms of both shape and its powering. In addition, the selected technology is characterized by high yield out of other technologies, which leads to a reduction of the costs associated with the process of casting part - brake disc.
