Cast metal parts are very susceptible to cracking and deformation. In fact, these two problems are often the most common complaints among manufacturers. The reason behind this is that during the casting process, there is a lot of stress placed on the metal part. This means that there is a large amount of force being applied to the metal component during the forming process
The resulting deformity can be either elastic or plastic. Elastoplastic deformation occurs when a material undergoes permanent deformation after an initial elastic strain has been applied to it. The term elastoplasticity is used to describe how materials behave under stress. Elastic deformation occurs when a material undergoes permanent deformation during an initial elastic strain; this type of deformation is known as plastic deformation
As stated above, both types of deformations can have negative effects on your castings if not addressed properly during your manufacturing processes. This article will provide tips on how you can prevent these two common problems during your casting processes.
