在六十年代,电子计算机已经在铸造工业中得到了应用,但当时还只限于少数工厂企业用于铸造车间的生产进度和产品的统计和管理,生产成本和工资的计算以及冲天炉配料最低成本计算等方面。到七十年代,电子计算机才在一些铸造设备中逐步得到应用,例如:美国伯明瀚铸管公司1972年新建的一座100吨/时热风冲天炉就采用电子计算机进行自动配料、加料并 In the 1960s, computers had been used in the foundry industry, but at the time they were limited to the production schedules and product statistics and management of a few foundries, the calculation of production costs and wages, and the lowest cost of cupola ingredients Calculation and so on. By the 1970s, electronic computers were gradually applied in some foundry equipment. For example, a 100-ton / hour hot-air cupola newly built by Birmingham Casting Company in 1972 was automatically computerized by computer and fed
