A study was undertaken to simulate the casting process, using simulation software, of a ductile iron casting (for use as a valve body) and in doing so to determine the order of residual stress and experimentally verify the simulation results. The simulation was carried out using MAGMASOFT® and the residual stress results verified using neutron diffraction. The measured residual stress results were found to compare favourably with the simulation predictions.
