Flotaxy

Flotaxy is a practical foundry companion for estimating core buoyancy before and during pour. Run four dedicated calculators for vertical cores, chaplet contact area, bulk core uplift, and horizontal cylinders using metal density, core density, geometry, and melt conditions. Pair results with a Foundry Notebook to log heat batch codes, drag/cope references, strip hardness, pour temperature, and line notes so buoyancy checks stay tied to real production context. Built for foundry engineers, pattern makers, and line leads who need fast, field-ready buoyancy estimates without leaving the floor.
