Ashland Casting Solutions, a business group within Ashland Specialty Chemical, has opened its design services centre at the company's headquarters in Dublin, Ohio, USA. The centre is a ‘one-stop shop’ for the metal casting industry, providing support from engineered drawings through casting and testing in Ashland's design-to-manufacture process. The centre is staffed with engineers dedicated to meeting the needs of the complex and diverse metal casting industry. It offers the latest technologies and technical support to help Ashland's customers optimize casting designs and processes to increase productivity and profitability. Using Arena-flow software, Ashland can produce an animated simulation of sand-core blowing and gassing processes. With Exactcalc software, the company determines the mould gating and risering required to optimize mould filling, and by using Novaflow & Solid software, it can validate the casting design and predict and eliminate defects. 'The centre’s team works to provide the total solution from concept to completion,' said Mike Swartzlander, Vice President, Ashland Specialty Chemical, and General Manager, Ashland Casting Solutions. 'Working with customers from engineered drawings through casting and testing, we have the unique ability to make their processes more productive and profitable while improving quality.'
