The Importance of Bottom Pouring in Metal Casting and the Role of Velocity
The way molten metal is introduced into a mold directly influences casting soundness, defect rates, and yield. Among the available methods, bottom pouring has proven to be highly effective for minimizing turbulence, improving filling patterns, and enhancing casting quality. The velocity of molten metal at the ingates, which dictates whether the flow is laminar, transitional, or turbulent — and … Read more
