CT examinations in the thick-walled areas showed almost no porosity due to inadequate feeding. The surface area due to porosity in the seam was only 3 % where 10 % would have been accepted. Micrographs of the weld seam showed no pores in the critical areas. And, these components passed all the required tests. This allowed the foundry to manufacture the tool meeting the given requirements and to deliver the first weldable parts within twelve weeks. Röders were able to define a suitable combination of casting parameters and casting layout which would guarantee a cast component compliant with the Audi specifications. Through the intensive use of filling and solidification simulation, G. The en-gineers used solidification simulations to determine the best locations for gates, local squeezers and cooling in order to avoid porosity caused by solidification shrinkage in the thick-walled areas of the casting. Simulation showed that these combined changes would reduce the degree of air entrapment at the weld contact area from 17 % to 8 % and remain below the required level. A second vent to the vacuum system was needed to improve the evacuation of air from the mold during filling. The simulations further revealed two corrective measures. This would lead to pores in the final cast component, which would result in a reduction in the weld seam area and diminished stability.
For this, different combinations of gate/overflow designs and casting conditions were simulated until an optimum result was achieved.ĭuring the simulation of the Audi module, the results indicated that the initially selected process parameters would lead to unacceptable entrapment of air at the weld locations. In this project, the ambitious task was to deliver the first weldable components to the customer within 12 weeks.Īfter determining the casting position, the main focus of the first simulations was the lay-out of the gating system and the overflows. Using a module support for the Audi A8 Roadster as an example, Röders illustrates how casting process simulation aids in tooling design. He adds, “70 % of both the quality and the cost of manufacturing are established with the design.” In return, no corrections of the tooling are required later”, sums up Andreas Röders, Managing Director of the foundry. “At the beginning, simulation takes more time. With-out casting process simulation, the quality of the die design is hardly foreseeable and can only be assessed in casting trials. This is certainly not the only reason why the company currently produces for 160 demanding customers - in the automobile industry, aircraft construction, medical engineering and pneumatics.Ĭasting process simulation ensures short project cycles because tool-ing can be designed in such a way that production can start without expensive pre-produc-tion sampling. Casting process simulation with MAGMASOFT® enables the foundry to design and deliver robust and efficiently manufacturable cast components, as well as the corresponding tooling, with tightly fixed delivery dates. Röders, who today generate a total revenue of 30 Million Euros at their sites in Germany and the Czech Republic, uses MAGMASOFT® as one of its tools. Röders in 1975 became the first certified supplier of die cast components for civil aircraft construction.
For over two centuries, the keys to success have been that the company has consequently stayed at the forefront of technical developments and has used the most effective tools available at the time. The company, managed today in the sixth generation of the founding family, has been engaged in the casting industry since 1815. If the label ‘a company with a long tradition’ can be used at all, it is certainly applicable to G.
