Abstract
Permanent mold casting of aluminum wheels for the automotive market is a rapidly growing industrial sector. Foundry productivity is directly related to throughput, which can be dominated by the time required to cool the casting prior to mold opening. A finite element analysis prototype is developed and analyzed to parametrically assess active cooling options to decrease cast-toremoval time while maintaining quality.
