Horizontal Orientation

Option B -- Horizontal

In the horizontal orientation, the mold parting line has to bend to follow the contour of the component in the horizontal orientation. This is added complexity in the mold fabrication and assembly process.

Metal flow will be complex and uneven, having to rise through the full height of the vertical step in the component.

The cores for the center bores will be oriented vertically with alignment issues between the top and bottom sections of the mold.

The vertical orientation is not a good approach for producing a flaw-free casting.
