Abstract |
|
The current work deals with the improved design of windmill hub. And also we are able to follow & study the production steps of the windmill hub casting. In the improved design we have reduced the number of risers from six to one. The improved design reduces the cost to breakoff projected portions of the riser and reduces the time taken to surface finish the casting, thus reducing the manufacturing lead time & the overall production cost. The study includes various aspects in pattern making, allowances, core, core prints, and moulding aspects. Then we undergone the design of gating system, riser, runner and sprue for our improved design. The proposed design with S.G. Iron, which has higher machinability, higher corrosion resistance, low weight will help the industries to reduce the losses due to the defect occurred in the products due to riser breakdown. This design will be more economical. |
