Introduction. To transition from technical novelty to innovation, a robust management strategy for product quality shall be established to enhance commercial viability.
Problem Statement. In the foundry industry, achieving high-quality castings remains a challenge within the end-to-end material system of the charge-melt-casting triad, which limits the scope for unconventional solutions.
Purpose. This study has aimed to define the conditions for a conceptual approach to building a simplified endto-end quality management system for castings using an innovative method of conductive electric current melt treatment.
Materials and Methods. The research has utilized previously obtained data, supplemented by system analysis, simulation modeling, and quality management principles within the “object-regulator” framework.
Results. A simplified paradigm for end-to-end casting quality management has been proposed, structured around the abstract “design-production-consumption” system. In the first stage, simulation modeling and field experiments have laid the groundwork for defect-free production. The second stage has introduced an electromagnetic control method for regulating treatment intensity parameters, replacing the conventional online control principle to stabilize processes within the object-regulator system. Algorithms for this process have been defined. In the third stage, selective testing of fi nished castings has confirmed defect-free quality, ensuring product competitiveness.
Conclusions. The study has demonstrated that a simplified end-to-end casting quality management system can effectively identify critical conditions and factors for quality enhancement. This system, based on the abstract “design-production-consumption” framework, provides a practical foundation for achieving high-quality castings with sufficient intensity.
