The Electrosteel Castings case is about an Indian ductile iron pipe (DIP) and cast iron pipe (CIP) manufacturer’s decision to internationalize. The central issue is about the choice of where to go‚ and the choice of the type of investment the company will pursue. This paper will analyze the options available for the company and recommend the best solution. 1. Electrosteel options As for the location‚ Electrosteel has two options: France and Vietnam. France is attractive because it could be

Melt the material (metal) 2. Pour it into a mold 3. Let it freeze Refractory mold pour liquid metal solidify‚ remove finish Capabilities and Advantages • Versatile: complex geometry‚ internal cavities

What is meant by casting shadows instead of light? Give an example of someone you have observed and their behavior that "cast shadows". (It could be someone in Politics‚ at work‚ or even in your family. (Just remember that other students will read your post) What do you think were the effects of the shadow they cast? Casting shadows focuses on leaders who project shadows of their inner darkness. A person who this student has observed casting shadows in their behavior is a previous general manager

Introduction A sand casting or a sand molded casting is a cast part produced by forming a mold from a sand mixture and pouring molten liquid metal into the cavity in the mold. The mold is then cooled until the metal has solidified. In the last stage the casting is separated from the mold. There are six steps in this process: (see sketch below): 1. Place a pattern in sand to create a mold. 2. Incorporate a gating system. 3. Remove the pattern. 4. Fill the mold cavity with molten metal

Casting Defects: Some defects are common to any and all process. These defects are illustrated in figure briefly described in the following: [pic] A) Misruns: A Misrun is a casting that has solidified before completely filling the mold cavity. Typical causes include 1) Fluidity of the molten metal is insufficient‚ 2) Pouring Temperature is too low‚ 3) Pouring is done too slowly and/or 4) Cross section of the mold cavity is too thin. b) Cold Shut: A cold shut occurs when two portion

1.0 Calculations 1.1 Sizing of component (including Shrinkage allowance) When cooling from molten state‚ all metals decrease in volume. When cold‚ casting will be smaller than their pattern. In order for parts to be of correct size‚ patterns are made larger to allow shrinkage. The extra size is called Shrinkage Allowance. Different metals have different Shrinkage Allowances. For the purpose of our project‚ we have been using Brass having shrinkage allowance of 1.5%. Length Nominal

Q. Do you think Kappmeyer should sign the proposal? Why or why not? Ans. I think Kappmeyer should not sign the proposal. My recommendation is based on understanding the basic nature of disruptive technologies‚ and their future impact on the steel industry. Kappmeyer is currently making the decision based on short-term gains. With this proposal USX will have 2.6M ton capacity which 3 times greater than Nucor’s 0.8 M ton but the conventional method is not sustainable on a long term basis. CSP
