Technical Review and Discussion
Technical Development Report: Thirty Years of Casting Process Simulation Erwin Flender and Jörg C. Sturm, Magma GmbH, Aachen, Germany
Reviewer: I think there was a lot more work done in the US on modeling, and a lot more work done on thermo-physical properties that have not been referenced. If the authors want to make a real history of simulation, some of these contribu- tions must be referenced.
Authors: The paper is written from the subjective stand- point of the authors from a European point of view. The au- thors are well aware of early work which was done in the United States. As this paper was not intended as a scientific summary, the authors told their personal story and even ignored ground-breaking work of European and Japanese scientists and research groups, which was just as instru- mental in getting the casting modeling ball rolling.
Reviewer: It is suggested that the authors review more excellent work recently published in literature on the re- lated topic covering the computational tools from alloy
design, through process simulation to final microstructure and property predictions for metal castings. It appears that the authors have overlooked some significant progress in casting defect modeling, microstructure and property pre- diction, as well as casting design and process optimization
Authors: In terms of the comments to recent work, the authors are well aware of the global scientific activities in casting modeling. Also here, the only focus was to sketch some selected highlights which are (in the view of the authors) important for foundrymen to know. The authors clearly indicated the effort and need to integrate casting process simulation into the design chain and the future importance of quantitative property prediction capabilities.
Reviewer: It would be much more beneficial for the readers if the authors could point out the future challenges in phys- ics, numerical methods, and simulation accuracy.
Authors: Due to the extensive length of the paper, the au- thor’s views about future needs and activities in casting pro- cess simulation could only be highlighted. As a snapshot, the topics of autonomous optimization and sand simulation were selected.
