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 ... -
Integration of cast simulated mechanical properties into FEA for improved tensile strength evaluation of ductile iron gate valve bodies
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)Valve production is one of the most cost competitive industries worldwide, and South African valve manufacturers face strong competition, predominantly from China. Simulation software can be used to engineering lighter, ...
