Abstract: Casting is the far most one of the earliest metal working process known to mankind which involves pouring molten
metal into specific mould cavity so that the molten metal solidifies into the desired shape. Gun metal far most used for its
corrosion resistant properties is currently used mostly for valve components and other applications hovering over the corrosive
working conditions. Modern industrial solutions demand intricate shapes from the components. For the same reason, the
castings of gun metals have become intricate in their designs. This intricacy induces many defects into the casting, mostly due
to the thermodynamic imbalances. These thermodynamics imbalances are minimized using an open source Finite Element
Analysis tool, ‘deal.ii’ by a C++ CLI through CMAKE in Linux OS. These softwares are utilized in integrated manner to
produce the approximate models predicting the casting behaviour.
Keywords: Gun Metal Casting, Finite Element Methods, Computational Fluid Dynamics, deal.ii, Casting Enhancement.
