An Example in Aluminum Casting   The Corvette Brake Pedal

Option A for Positioning the In-Gate

In-Gate1.jpg (15186 bytes)
  • Option A places in-gate feed directly into the flat pedal section of the component. This will provide good metal feed into the heavier pedal section.

  • But the molten metal will have to travel the full length of the arm to reach the the pivot cylinder section at the opposite end.

  • This is not the best location for the in-gate

Go back to the gate selection page and select an alternate design.
