	A Comparison of Flow Modification through Foundry Filters using both Water Modeling and Simulation Software - Part1 By J.M. Dumaillet and G.M. Wilson Saint-Gobain Advanced Ceramics Hamilton, Paris, Ontario, Canada Copyright 2002 American Foundry Society This study is the first part of a project beeing undertaken to establish general rules for designing a gating system with a filter. The considered parameters include : type of alloy, filter print, filter location,filter orientation, angle between filter chamber and runner, runner height and choke location. Major observations were made using water modeling experiments, but the use of simulation software is much quicker and more flexible, and the results can be interpreted more clearly. After suitable adjustments to the software parameters, most of the observations became similar to those noted with water modeling. However, air entrapment is more obvious in the water model and the low velocity at the chamber exit is more visible in the software simulation. English, 12 pages, size 650 Ko
	Molten metal filters :an engineered balance - By I.A. Andrews and A.L. Matthews Hamilton Advanced Ceramics, Paris, Ontario, Canada Experience has shown that characteristics other than just filtration efficiency are important properties of molten metal filters. The ability to remove inclusions is of course important, but a filter must also have a high and consistent flow rate, good strength, a high capacity and good dimensional accuracy. This must be achieved at the lowest possible cost. The paper discusses the relative performance of the most popular filtering technologies against each of the above parameters.The filters types considered are pressed cellular ceramics filters, extruded cellular ceramics filters and ceramic foam filters. The paper concludes that in ductile iron, ceramic pressed cellular filters offer the best engineered balance of the performance parameters discussed.
