I transient phenomenon, posing a challen modelling and analysis. Finite element me simulate the heat transfer process acc solidification process. During the solid casting in a mold, the heat-transfer betw and the mold plays a vital role. This w study heat flow within the casting, as w casting to the mold, and finally obtains t history of all points inside the casti important instant of time is when the hotte the casting is solidifying. ANSYS software to obtain the temperature distribution process by performing Transient Thermal Keywords—ANSYS, Casting, Solidifi Element Method I. INTRODUCTION For manufacturing the desired geometry Metal casting is one of the direct method. step involves in casting process first pourin into a mould patterned after the part to be second allowing it to solidify, and finall part from the mould. The first metal casti during the period from 4000 to 3000 B. and metal moulds for casting copper [1]. V processes have been developed over time own characteristics and applications to design requirements. By casting process a components and parts are made, such as crankshafts automotive components and agricultural and railroad equipment, pipes fixtures, power-tool housings, gun barre jewellery, orthopaedic implants, and components for hydraulic turbines. For the production of good-quality a castings a good understanding of the under essential.
