Kyle is in Australia for 6 months working with AW Bell and RMIT University students. Kyle has a wealth of experience working with foundries in the USA and other countries applying John Campbellās naturally pressurised runner systems.
Kyle will present early results from his work at AW Bell applying these methods to investment casting of aluminium and titanium. Also presented will be results from modelling with Magma and the validation of velocities in the sprue and runner using sensors, plus actual measured flow rates compared to the designed rates.
