Abstract:

The objective of this project is to identify defects in investment casting process. A case study has been conducted, involving more than one mechanical part in an investment casting industry. Few of most common defects found in investment cast parts are blowholes, shrinkage cavity, porosity, cold shuts, sand inclusion, misrun, bulging and cracks. Now a days, computational software for investment casting process has begun to complement the design based approach in meeting the demands of higher quality investment cast parts in a cost effective manner. The computations will carry out using Autocast x1 software and the defect will be predicted.
