A Bracket with the following dimensions as shown in Figure 1, Table 1 and Table 2 must be
casted with the following stringent requirements.
The requirements for performance, casting production, and cost are taken into consideration.
•
Select an alloy that meets the mechanical requirements and reliably produces the castings
in a sound condition.
•
Select a molding method that produces the required dimensional tolerances and surface
finish in a cost-effective manner.
•
Develop a casting and mold design that produces flaw-free within-tolerance connectors
at the best cost.
