STUDY OF PROCESS PARAMETERS OF GRAVITY DIE CASTING DEFECTS

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.
