A non-conformance of the scab type was Observed on surface of the casting as well as sand buckles and cold shots. Studied the chemical composition by means of a scanning electron microscope in a region of casting defects: microanalysis point and microanalysis surface. Around the observed defects discloses high concentration of oxides of iron, manganese and silicon. A computer simulation of the casting process has been carried out with the objective to establish the cause of occurrence of cold shots on casting surface. The simulation was carried out with the use of NovaFlow & Solid program. We analyzed the flowing metal in the mold cavity. The main reason for the occurrence of casting defects on the surface of the casting was gating system, which caused turbulent flow of metal with a distinctive splash stream of liquid alloy.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The Effect of a Thin-Wall Casting Mould Cavity Filling Conditions on the Casting Surface Quality}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/101957/PDF/afe-2016-0113.pdf}, doi={10.1515/afe-2016-0113}, keywords={Thin-wall casting, Grey cast iron, Cold shots, Simulation}, }
