New request for Quotation
Written bidding process concerning the CapEx project entitled Implementation of an innovative simulation system for casting (pouring) and solidification and construction of metallographic test stands and casting test stand financed from the means of RPO Warmia i Mazury for years 2007÷2013.
Under the aforementioned project the Board of Directors, Elzamech Foundry, hereby invites you to submit your binding quotations, within the meaning of Article 66 of Civil Code, for the procurement of simulation system for pouring and solidification of casts together with a workstation.
The purpose of the system shall be the simulation of the pouring, solidification and cooling process of casts in order to design and optimize the process of grey cast iron and nodular cast iron casting production weighing from 1000 to 30 000 kg in sand moulds with organic binders.
The purpose of the project is the cost reduction of the cast production and casting process quality increase as a result of:
- lead time reduction for the implementation of innovative nodular cast iron castings in ELZAMECH Foundry.
- optimisation of the manufacturing process parameters in terms of use of material, metal gains, selection of gate and feed system,
- prediction of casting quality class and their structure,
- reduction of non-conformances as a result of reduced number of trial casts in manufacturing conditions.
The required functions of the system:
- efficient casting simulation weighing up to 30 000 kg, confirmed by a reference list,
- specially dedicated module for cast iron solidification anallysis considering pre-shrinkage expansion,
- simulation of filling mould cavity with metal,
- simulation of cast solidification and cooling process,
- generation of project database and project database management,
- direct modelling of the geometry of solids,
- 3D geometry import from CAD systems,
- Simultaneous use of imported geometry (for example, of a cast) with the geometry directly modelled in the casting simulation system (such as components of casting manufacturing process),
- Visualisation and animation of proceses:
- 1. mould filling process to assess the process vs. time (velocity field, pressure and temperature of liquid metal),
- 2. flow vortices,
- 3. air displacement from the recess of the mould and pressure increase (risk of gas bubble defect),
- 4. cast solidification process (temperature field, liquid/ solid phase fraction, determination of the solidification direction),
- 5. mould and core heating and cooling process,
- identification of:
- 1. the areas on the mould and core surfaces prone to mass erosion,
- 2. thermal nodes of the casting,
- visualisation of:
- 1. the material density distribution (location of porosities) in any place in the casting,
Desired functions of teh system:
- Prediction of:
- 1. microstructure depending on the specified chemical composition of metal and solidification conditions,
- 2. mechanical properties of castings (strength of material, hardness, etc.) depending on the specified chemical composition of metal and solidification conditions
- automatic optimisation of gate systems (automatic selection of optimum cross-sections of gate system components),
- automatic optimisation of feed systems (automatic selection of optimum number, size and location of feeders),
- automatic optimisation of directional solidification (automatic selection of optimum number, size and location of external chills),
- automatic optimisation of structure and mechanical properties vs. chemical composition of liquid cast iron and casting solidification conditions
