Title: Minimization of Investment Casting Defects by Using Computer Simulation - A Case Study
Abstract: Use of computer aided manufacturing helps in meeting the demand of achieving high quality casting in cost effective manner within stipulated time frame. It plays an important role not only in development of new components but also in redesign of existing components. In spite of so much research and development in this field, it is observed that most foundries still use trial and error approach for process development. The capability to produce sound casting component of high quality at the same time reducing product costs & development times is the greatest challenge for the foundry today. Elimination of defects is the key for producing sound casting. Few of most common defects found in investment cast parts are blowholes, shrinkage cavity and porosity. The study of these defects has lead to development of various theories and practices. The paper aims at providing an approach to prevent these defects by using computer simulation for process development in investment casting.
