Description

Digital Technologies in Metal Casting: Data Analytics, Simulation, Industry 4.0, and Artificial Intelligence focuses on integrating cutting-edge technology with metal casting, outlining ways in which simulation methods, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and other interactive and immersive technologies can be leveraged to improve the casting process. The book starts with overviews of both metal casting and the technologies to be integrated, before moving into chapters discussing the specific integration of those technologies into the metal casting process. The utilization of simulation, data analytics, artificial intelligence, cyber manufacturing, and more are highlighted, with each chapter covering specific use cases, commonly encountered challenges, and solutions for overcoming those challenges.

Key features

  • Outlines how to integrate simulation methods, data analytics, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and other cutting-edge technology into the metal casting process
  • Covers integration of these technologies into various stages of the casting process, including pattern making, mold making, melting, pouring, and more
  • Provides use cases and applications for each technology
  • Discusses automation, safety, digitalization, and optimization of casting processes
