Calculate Bottom Gating Pouring Time









Formula

The formula to calculate the Bottom Gating Pouring Time is:

\[ Tbg = \frac{Aratio}{\sqrt{2 \cdot ac}} \cdot 2 \cdot (\sqrt{l} - \sqrt{l - hc}) \]

Definition

Bottom gating pouring time is the time for liquid metal to fill the mold from bottom to top, thus avoiding the splashing and oxidation associated with vertical gating.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ Tbg = \frac{5.24}{\sqrt{2 \cdot 12.56}} \cdot 2 \cdot (\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{6 - 0.01}) = 0.00426999054621799 \text{ s} \]
