ABSTRACT
In today’s world a casting production without any defect is almost
impossible. After the application of various optimization techniques and
process we still are not able to get the defect free castings. So it is critically
important to analyze the root cause of casting defect with in the process itself,
so that any changes which can hamper the defect intensity can be invoked at
the time of manufacturing or foundry shop production. The gravity die casting
process is governed by its process parameters so it is required to study its
process parameters and its effects. In this paper an effort has been
incorporated to study the change in process parameters and their consequent
effects on casting defects.
Key words: Casting, Root cause, process parameters

1. INTRODUCTION
In practical foundry shop it is quite tough to judge the exact cause for a particular
defect because they are quite intuitive in nature. So first of all it is required to identify
process parameters which can affect the process considerably and can change the
output with reasonable weightage. So it is required to identify the factors which can
affect the process and these factors are identified with the help of study of various
literatures and interaction with various foundry experts in different industries.
According to experience and expertise of foundry experts and after studying various
literatures there are lots more factors which are identified to be affecting the gravity
die casting process considerably are as follows[2]. A gravity die casting essentially
consists of following parameters such as
2. PROCESS PARAMETERS:
The process parameters which are critical and can affect the process considerably are
1. Under design: resulting in high percentage of defective castings, due to the number or
size or placement or selection of feeders and gating and gating elements are
inadequate.
2. Over design: leading to acceptable quality level, but poor yield and thereby high cost.
In this case, the number and/or size of feeders and gating elements are much higher
than their respective optimal values.[4]
3. CONCLUSION
The overall motive of this paper is to make an analysis so that a relation between
casting defects can be established. The study depicts that in practical circumstances it
is not necessary to apply special techniques to minimize the casting defects such as
computer simulation etc which makes the situation quite hypothetical in nature. The
defect free casting although not practically possible but still at a greater extent of
defects can be minimized by using optimum values of process parameters which can
affect the casting process considerably.
