An Example in Aluminum Casting   The Corvette Brake Pedal

Option B for Positioning the In-Gate

In-Gate2.jpg (15989 bytes)
  • Option B places the in-gate feed closer to the center of the transverse arm of the brake pedal.

  • Center feed provides more uniform metal feed into both ends of the brake pedal.

  • With rapid, even fill of the two ends of the brake pedal, the casting will be sound with less risk of porosity and "hot tearing."

You have chosen the best location for the in-gate. Go on to the next design issue.
