Abstract

One of the main factors affecting the quality of cast products is the amount of non-metallic inclusions, which form the mechanical properties, art, the presence of internal defects, machinability, etc. Obtaining high-quality casting gives us a filtration process that traps pollution, and regulates the flow of a stream of liquid metal a filter. This process slightly increases the costs associated with the production, while the selection of suitably optimized gating system, method and conditions of flooding, type and location of the filter has a significant impact on the degree of purity of the casting and foundry capacity. In this paper, is rated the effectiveness of structural steel filtration using filter SteelexPro Foseco company, through quantitative analysis of non-metallic inclusions in samples taken from the gating system immediately before and after the filter.
