2. GATING SYSTEM
• The term gating system refers to all passageways
through which the molten metal passes to enter the
mould cavity.
• The gating system is composed of
Pouring basin
Sprue
Runner
Gates
Risers
4. • Any gating system designed should aim at providing a defect
free casting. This can be achieved by considering following
requirements.
A gating system should avoid sudden or right angle changes in
direction.
A gating system should fill the mould cavity before freezing.
The metal should flow smoothly into the mould without any
turbulence. A turbulence metal flow tends to form dross in the
mould.
Unwanted materials such as slag, dross and other mould
materials should not be allowed to enter the mould cavity.
The metal entry into the mould cavity should be properly
controlled in such a way that aspiration of the atmospheric air
is prevented.
5. A proper thermal gradient should be maintained so that the
casting is cooled without any shrinkage cavities or distortions.
Metal flow should be maintained in such a way that no gating
or mould erosion takes place.
The gating system should ensure that enough molten metal
reaches the mould cavity.
It should be economical and easy to implement and remove
after casting solidification.
6. • For proper functioning of the gating system, the
following factors need to be controlled.
Type of pouring equipment, such as ladles, pouring
basin etc.
Temperature/ Fluidity of molten metal.
Rate of liquid metal pouring.
Type and size of sprue.
Type and size of runner.
Size, number and location of gates connecting runner
and casting.
Position of mould during pouring and solidification.
8. • A pouring basin makes it easier for the ladle or
crucible operator to direct the flow of metal from
crucible to sprue.
• Helps maintaining the required rate of liquid metal
flow.
• Reduces turbulence at the sprue entrance.
• Helps separating dross, slag etc., from metal before it
enters the sprue.
9. •If the pouring basins are made large,
Dross and slag formation will tend to float on the surface
of the metal and may be stopped from entering the sprue and
hence the mould.
They may be filled quickly without overflowing and may
act as a reservoir of liquid metal to compensate metal
shrinkage or contraction.
10. SPRUE
• A sprue feeds metal to runner which in turn reaches
the casting through gates.
• A sprue is tapered with its bigger end at top to receive
the liquid metal. The smaller end is connected to
runner.
11. GATES
• A gate is a channel which connects runner with the
mould cavity and through which molten metal flows
to fill the mould cavity.
• A small gate is used for a casting which solidifies
slowly and vice versa.
• A gate should not have sharp edges as they may break
during pouring and sand pieces thus may be carried
with the molten metal in the mould cavity.
• Types
• Top gate
• Bottom gate
• Parting line side gate
12. Top gate
• A top gate is sometimes also called as Drop gate
because the molten metal just drops on the sand in the
bottom of the mould.
• Generation of favourable temperature gradients to
enable directional solidification from the casting
towards the gate which serves as a riser too.
15. Bottom gates
• A bottom gate is made in the drag portion of the
mould.
• In a bottom gate the liquid metal fills rapidly the
bottom portion of the mould cavity and rises steadily
and gently up the mould walls.
• As comparison to top gate, bottom gate involves
little turbulence and sand erosion.
• Bottom gate produces good casting surfaces.
16.
17. Disadvantages
• In bottom gates, liquid metal enters the mould cavity
at the bottom. If freezing takes place at the bottom, it
could choke off the metal flow before the mould is
full.
• A bottom gate creates an unfavourable temperature
gradient and makes it difficult to achieve directional
solidification.
18. PARTING LINE SIDE GATE
• Middle or side or parting gating systems combine the
characteristics of top and bottom gating systems.
• In this technique gate is provided along the parting
line such that some portion of the mould cavity will
be below the parting line and some portion will be
above the parting line.
• The cavity below the parting line will be filled by
assuming top gating and the cavity above the parting
line will be filled by assuming bottom gating.
19. DESIGN OF GATING SYSTEM
• To fill the mould cavity without breaking the flow of
liquid metal and without using very high pouring
temperatures.
• To avoid erosion of mould cavity.
• To minimize turbulence and dross formation.
• To prevent aspiration of air or mould gases in the
liquid metal stream.
• To obtain favourable temperature gradients to
promote directional solidification.
20. Defects occurring due to improper
design of gating system
• Oxidation of metal
• Cold shuts
• Mould erosion
• Shrinkages
• Porosity
• Misruns
• Penetration of liquid metal into mould walls.
22. Critical Reynold’s
number
• Re < 2,000
– viscosity dominated, laminar flow
• Re > 4,000
– inertia dominated, turbulent flow
• Controlled through gate and runner design
23. Metal flow rate and velocity
calculations
• Studies of gating system have been based upon two
laws of fluid dynamics.
• Law of continuity
• Q = A1V1 = A2V2
• Q = volume rate of flow
• A = cross sectional area of flow passage
• V = linear velocity of flow
24. P = pressure
= density
v = velocity
h = height above the datum plane
Bernoulli’s Equation
• Used to calculate flow velocities
• Assumptions: steady state, incompressible, inviscid
Flow
P1/g + V1
2/ 2g + h1 = P2/g + V2
2/ 2g + h2
25. Design criteria for pouring basin
• The pouring basin should be designed such that the
proper uniform flow system is rapidly established.
• This can be achieved by-
Use of strainer core
Use of DAM to make steady flow
Use of sprue plug
• It should be easy and convenient to fill pouring basin.
26. Design of sprue
• As the liquid metal passes down the sprue it loses its
pressure head but gains velocity.
To reduce turbulence and promote Laminar Flow,
from the Pouring Basin, the flow begins a near
vertical incline that is acted upon by gravity and with
an accelerative gravity force

Actual shape of sprue is Parabola
But in order to avoid manufacturing difficulty we use
tapered cylinder shape.
29. •Tapered sprue reduces the rate of flow at which the
liquid metal enters the mould cavity and hence mould
erosion is reduced.
•The area at the sprue exit controls-
Flow rate of liquid metal into mould cavity
Velocity of liquid metal
Pouring time
Choke is that part of the gating system which has
the smallest cross section area.
In a free gating system sprue serves as choke.
30. This reduces mould erosion and turbulence because
velocity of liquid metal is less.
This system causes air aspiration effect.
In a choked system, gate serves as the choke.
This creates a pressurized system.
Due to high metal velocity and turbulence, this
system experiences oxidation and erosion in mould
cavity.
The area at the sprue exit which if is the least is
known as choke area and can be calculated from the
following relation-
31. . 2
A
W
C
c dt gH
CA is choke area
W is the weight of casting
C is nozzle coefficient
d is density of liquid metal
t is pouring time
H effective liquid metal head
32. Pouring time
•High pouring rates leads to mould erosion, rough
surface, excessive shrinkages etc.
•Low pouring rate may not permit the complete filling of
the mould cavity in time if the molten metal freezes fast
and thus defects like cold shuts may develop.
•It is very necessary to know optimum pouring rate or
pouring time for metals to be cast. Optimum pouring rate
a function of casting shape and size.
33. • Pouring time for brass or bronze
• Varies from 15 seconds to 45 seconds may be used
for casting weighing less than 150 kg.
• Pouring time for steel casting
• Steel has a high freezing range as compared to other
cast alloys, it is poured rapidly to avoid early
freezing.
• Pouring time = seconds
W is weight of casting in lbs
K is fluidity factor
34. • Pouring time for gray cast iron casting

35. • Pouring time of light metal alloys
•Unlike steel, Al and Mg alloys are poured at a slow
rate, this is necessary to avoid turbulence, aspiration
and drossing.
36. DESIGN OF RUNNER AND
GATES
• In a good runner and gate design-
Abrupt changes in section and sharp corners which
create turbulence and gas entrapment should be
avoided.
A suitable relationship must exist between the cross-
sectional area of sprue, runner and in gates.
37. GATING RATIO
• Gating ratio= a:b:c where,
• a= cross-sectional area of sprue
• b= cross-sectional area of runner
• c= total cross-sectional area of ingates.
• Gating ratio reveals-
• whether the total cross- section decreases towards the
mould cavity. This provides a choke effect which
pressurizes the liquid metal in the system.
• Whether the total cross-sectional area increases so
that the passages remain incompletely filled. It is an
unpressurized system.
38. S.N. Pressurized gating systems Unpressurized gating systems
1. Gating ratio may be of the order
of 3: 2: 1
Gating ratio may be of the order of
1: 3: 2
2. Air aspiration effect is minimum Air aspiration effect is more
3. Volume flow of liquid from
every ingate is almost equal.
Volume flow of liquid from every
ingate is different.
4. They are smaller in volume for a
given flow rate of metal.
Therefore the casting yield is
higher.
They are larger in volume because
they involve large runners and gates
as compared to pressurized system
and thus the cast yield is reduced.
5. Velocity is high, severe
turbulence may occur at corners.
Velocity is low and turbulence is
reduced.
39. • Ideally, in a system, pressure should be just enough to
avoid aspiration and keep to all feeding channels full
of liquid metal.
• Gating ratio and positions of ingates should be such
that the liquid metal fills the mould cavity just rapidly
to-
Avoid misruns and coldshuts in thin sectioned
castings.
Reduce turbulence and mould erosion in casting of
thicker casting.
40. • The maximum liquid metal tends to flow through the
farthest ingate.
• For a gating ratio 1:2:4, 66% of liquid metal enters
through gate no. 2 and only 34% does so through gate
no. 1.
• Total ingate area is reduced by making gates farthest
from sprue of smaller cross-section so that less
volume of metal flows through them and makes a
uniform distribution of metal at all ingates.
41. • Besides with reduced total ingate area, still more
satisfactory result may be obtained if runner beyond
each ingate is reduced in cross section to balance the
flow in all parts of the system and to equalise further
velocity and pressure.
42. Streamlining the gating system
• Streamlining includes-
• Removing sharp corners or junction by giving a
generous radius.
• Tapering the sprue.
• Providing radius at sprue entrance and exit.
43.
44. ADVANTAGES OF STREAMLINING
• Metal turbulence is reduced.
• Air aspiration is avoided.
• Mould erosion and dross are minimized.
• Sound and clean casting are obtained.
