A Review on Casting Defect Minimization through Simulation

The objective of this paper is to find defects in casting process. Causes for shrinkage defects are discussed and remedies for the shrinkage defect would help to improve the quality of casting product. By proper casting technique, improving feeding design, proper location of ingates and risers will reduce the shrinkage defect. Simulation in software SOFTCAST helps to detect shrinkage defect and using discussed remedies help to reduce rejection rate.
