Design of Castings and Simulation of the Metal Flow & Solidification

Design & Simulation

Screen shot from Newby's advanced Design & Simulation Software suite.   The use of state of the art high-speed computers, along with the most advanced software enables our methods engineer to accurately simulate both the flow of molten metal within the mould cavity, and the subsequent solidification characteristics. This is an invaluable tool in minimising pattern development time and ensuring a “Right first time” methoding solution.
Potential problems such as, shrinkage porosity, cold laps, and misrun can be identified and resolved without the need for costly and time consuming pattern, mould and casting production.
Our in house casting design team provides informed advice on casting design, materials and process selection, to identify at the onset of a project the optimum casting solution, and minimise the lead time to market.

World Class Quality

Quality Department

Through carefully developed operating procedures our quality standards are continuously being raised.
The Mark-Out department is equipped with a computer assisted 3 axis co-ordinate measuring machine (C.M.M.)
This set-up allows us to dimensionally assess tooling and sample castings to PPAP requirements quickly and accurately. Printed results of findings can be generated for customer approvals.
Our Quality Department is supported by well equipped laboratory facilities, enabling us to carry out spectrographic analysis, mechanical and non-destructive testing including dye-penetrant, ultrasonics, magnetic particle and endoscopy.

Shell Mould & Vacuum-backed Shell Foundry

NEWBY FOUNDRIES - Vacuum Backed & Conventional Shell Moulding
Smith Road, Wednesbury, West Midlands. WS10 0PB.

Commissioned in 1992, this purpose built Shell Foundry provides Newby Foundries with a modern facility that is accredited to ISO/TS 16949:2002, and underpins our position as a leader in this method of manufacture.
Shell Moulding produces castings with close dimensional tolerances, good surface finish and excellent reproduction of detail.
The process often reduces the amount of subsequent machining, assembly and finishing when compared to conventional moulding.
Our design team can help you explore and maximise these opportunities.
Vacuum Backed Shell Moulded castings offer all the benefits of the standard Shell Process with the ability to cast larger more complex castings up to 90Kg.
This process is based on the support of the shell moulds using the latest Vacuum Technology. Increased Rates of gas removal and very low fume emissions are also benefits of this Unique Process.

Weight Range: 0.25kg - 25kg (Standard Shell Process) &
20kg - 90kg (Vacuum Backed Shells)
Melting Facilities: 4 - 1/2 Tonne Induction Furnaces
Heat Treatment: Own Heat Treatment Facility.
Certification: Provision of non-destructive test certificates as required.

Vacuum Backing Plant

The vacuum backing process starts with traditional shell moulds. The mould shells are loaded into a box mould.
Traditional Shell Mould

Loading Shells into Box Mould

The box mould is filled with sand and the vacuum is drawn. The liquid metal is poured into the moulds whilst under vacuum.
