The application of magnetic moulding in casting of a ductile iron valve
(North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2018)Impeding problems experienced in the valve manufacturing industry has resulted in the cost of locally manufactured valves to be up to 60% more expensive than imported products. The overall cost of manufactured products ... -
Design and assembly of a standard compliant testing facility for locally manufactured industrial valves
(North-West University, 2018)The greatest challenge facing the valve industry, is the access to affordable raw material. With the expected valve increase in South Africa, the industry identified the need for an increase of locally manufactured industrial ... -
Residual stress determination of ductile cast iron by means of neutron diffraction
(North-West University, 2018)A study was undertaken to simulate the casting process, using simulation software, of a ductile iron casting (for use as a valve body) and in doing so, to determine the order of residual stress and experimentally verify ...
