Casting Failure Analysis

Casting is one of the oldest manufacturing processes on earth, yet anomalies often occur. Vista Engineering has dedicated expert staff to analyze casting failures and flow anomalies.

Our Expert

Dr. Preston Scarber, PE, PhD is a member of the American Foundry Society and has served on technical committees for Process Modeling, Engineering, and Lost Foam Casting Research. He has earned AFS Outstanding Service and Best Paper awards.

Flow Analysis

Vista Engineering’s casting consultants have investigated and solved complex flow problems involving various materials and casting processes. We identify flow anomaly types such as shrinkage, misruns, cold shuts, cold shots, and microporosity. Our scientists use state-of-the-art flow analysis modeling software to determine sources of casting anomalies.

Service Options

Our professional engineers can assist with a single question or problem. More often, manufacturers rely on our services on a regular basis and contract with us monthly by way of a retainer — ensuring we are always available whenever an issue arises.
