Management of the process of moulding-casting a steel part in order to optimize it

Abstract

Abstract The foundry industry occupies an important position in the manufacture of castings, both through the existing production capacities and through the remarkable achievements registered in various fields and industries. The goal of steel foundry industry leaders is to meet the demands of both the entire market and individual customers, to develop new products, to improve available technologies, and to implement new “green” projects while optimizing all processes in the foundry. In this context, this paper presents the possibility of optimizing the process of moulding-casting a steel part that can be used in various industries (mechanics, machine building, mining etc.). The non-conformities of the current moulding-casting technology are identified and actions are proposed to remove them. By applying changes in technology, the rejects registered in the industrial practice is significantly reduced, the quality of the production process is improved, which is reflected in the costs of the enterprise.
