Energy-Efficient Casting Processes

Abstract: Metal casting is one of the most energy intensive manufacturing processes that has developed along the evolution of mankind. Although nowadays its scientific and technological aspects are well-established, in the context of future resource scarcity and environmental pollution pressures, new studies appear necessary to describe the "foundry of the future" where energy and material efficiency are of great importance to guarantee competitiveness alongside environmental protection. In this chapter, both managerial… Show more

“…Such "energy intensive" manufacturing processes, like casting, largely benefit from this additional study. A practical example of the advantages derived by this approach is understanding, benchmarking and improving the full chain of metal casting processes [5]. Another approach is combining multi-layer stream mapping with near-real-time monitoring [6] or with eco-efficiency methods [7,8] to create a decision making framework.…”

“…The energy efficiency of a process is one of the most dominant factors affecting environmental sustainability, especially in the case of energy-intensive processes such as metal casting (Pagone et al, 2019). The "cradle to gate" specific energy consumption is being considered in the context of this analysis.…”

“…Despite the wide application of MCDM models in manufacturing systems, their application on metal casting processes is still an under-investigated topic. The development of a decision-making framework for casting processes is of significant importance as casting is one of the most energy intensive manufacturing processes; mostly due to the high energy demands during the melting and holding processes (Pagone et al, 2019). The study here presented spotlights the High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) process which is a permanent mould, metal casting process suitable for high production volumes (Jolly, 2003).…”
