15th week

FERNANDO HUMANES

This week has been a tough week, we have finished the design of our trtoquel mold for the evacuation of scrap metal.

To leave our mold as correct as possible, I have made many changes in the design of the mold, either to make the scrap evacuation ramps as to the ammarre of the mold to our die and press.

We are making the final report that we have to present to our teachers, each component of the group has divided the work to make the final report.

On Wednesday we visited a foundry in Durango.

The visit was very entertaining since the work they did was very handmade.

It must be said that it was interesting for our learning, we saw how they made the sand molds by hand and the males too.

This is the last week of the second challenge. We had to share our work to make the end of challenge report. In this document we have had to put all the information on the base, the foundry and all the resources used.

We had to pass the files to solid-works to calculate forces. In addition to this the expert made us some simulations of filling, cooling and possible failures that the base was going to have. In these simulations we saw that it was not very viable and that there were going to be different imperfections inside the base. To avoid that we have decided to change the flasks and put a large mass of material with a special material around it so that it cools more slowly and there arise those failure that I mentioned since that does not work and then it is cut.
