FOSECO Feeder Sleeve and Filter Data Now Available in ESI’s ProCAST Software
18 Dec 2024
FOSECO, the foundry division of Vesuvius, and a world leading supplier of casting consumables, and ESI Group, a part of Keysight Technologies, a world leading providers of software for the simulation and optimisation of casting processes, announce a new cooperation.
Thermo-physical data for the FOSECO feeder sleeve and filtration product ranges are integrated and made available in ESI’s ProCAST (& QuikCAST) software. ProCAST, leveraging over three decades of expertise, provides detailed insights into the intricate dynamics of the casting process, empowering foundries to evaluate, validate, and optimize their casting processes, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.
The integration of Foseco’s feeder sleeve and filter thermo-physical data into ProCAST enables common customers of Foseco and ESI ProCAST to execute simulation projects more efficiently and confidently. By assigning the product-specific material properties to each feeder and filter, simulated filling & solidification results become more reliable.
This improved accuracy and confidence facilitates faster decision making, leading to better gating and feeding system design, fewer simulation iterations to achieve an optimized casting quality with maximized yield.
Initially focusing on products relevant to Ferrous Foundries in Europe, this integration sets the stage for future expansions, with plans to extend the geographic coverage more widely in subsequent phases. Foseco and ESI Group are committed to providing foundries with cutting-edge solutions that enhance efficiency, optimize processes, and drive innovation in the casting industry.
Key Benefits
- Accurate Simulations: Foseco and ESI‘s collaboration integrates Foseco’s sleeve & filter data into ProCAST for precise casting process & defect predictions, better decision-making, reducing iterations and enhancing quality with maximized yield.
- Efficient Workflow: Having Foseco‘s data accessible in ProCAST helps foundries eliminate uncertainty in simulations, and boosts productivity.
- Worldwide Impact: Foseco datasets for products relevant for to Ferrous Foundries in Europe will be available initially, and this collaboration shall pave the way for further regional expansion, and subsequently in other regions of the world.
