# Industrial Specification: Automated Precision Casting Production Line

## 1. Technical Definition
Integrated industrial system for automated metal casting with precision control.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 MPa (5-20 bar) hydraulic pressure, 680-720°C molten aluminum temperature, ±0.1 mm dimensional tolerance**. Failure boundary: **Hydraulic pressure exceeding 2.5 MPa causes seal rupture, mold temperature dropping below 650°C creates incomplete filling, dimensional deviation exceeding ±0.3 mm triggers rejection**, Mechanism: **Hydraulic seal failure due to elastomer degradation at 2.5 MPa (Hooke's law elastic limit), solidification shrinkage from 650°C phase transition (latent heat of fusion 397 kJ/kg for aluminum), thermal expansion mismatch between mold and casting (coefficient difference 12×10⁻⁶/°C vs 23×10⁻⁶/°C)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Heat Sterilization F0 Lethality Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_0 = \int_{0}^{t} 10^{(T-121.1)/z} dt$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Validates microbial reduction integrity for aseptic packaging.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| T | Process Temp (°C) | **$T \in [680-720°C]$ °C** (Per `temperature_range`) |
| t | Exposure Time (min) | Engineering Constant |
| z | Z-value | **10 °C** (Standard for *C. botulinum*) |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Induction furnace coil insulation breakdown at 1500V AC | 8 | Molten metal temperature instability (±50°C fluctuation) | Ceramic fiber insulation with 1800°C rating and voltage monitoring at 1000V threshold |
| Servo motor encoder contamination by graphite lubricant | 8 | Robotic arm positioning error exceeding ±0.5 mm | IP67-rated encoder housing with positive air pressure purge at 0.2 bar |
