So need to number of process parameter to must controlled while casting process, so there are no of uncertainty and defects are face by organizations. In casting process industries are need to technical solution to minimize the uncertainty and defects. In this review paper to represent various casting defects and root causes for engine parts while casting process. Also provide preventive action to improve quality as well as productivity an industrial level. Keywords: Casting defects and their root causes, remedies for casting defects. I. INTRODUCTION II. MOTIVATION Casting is a manufacturing process, in Mostly casting defects are concerned with which a hot molten metal is use to poured into process parameters. Hence one has to control the a mold box, which contains a hollow cavity of the process parameter to achieve zero defect parts. For desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. That controlling process parameter one must have solidified part is known as a casting, Casting is knowledge about effect of process parameter on most often used for making complex shapes that casting and their influence on defect. The correct would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to identification of the casting defects at the initial make by other methods. Casting is a process which stage is essential for taking remedial actions. carries risk of failure occurrence during all the Analysis of defects like shrinkage porosities process of accomplishment of the finished product. computer aided casting simulation technique is the Hence necessary action should be taken while most efficient and accurate method. The quality manufacturing of cast product so that defect free and yield of the casting can be efficiently improved parts are obtained. During the process of casting, by modifying like SQC DOE Method simulation there is always a chance where defect will occur. technique in shortest possible time and without Minor defect can be adjusted easily but high carrying out the actual trials on foundry shop floor. rejected rates could lead to significant change at high cost. Therefore it is essential for die caster to III. LITERATURE REVIEW have knowledge on the type of defect and be able Rajesh Rajkolhe, J.G. Khan conclude that to identify the exact root cause, and their remedies. various defect are generated in casting process In this review paper an attempt has been made to while manufacturing, defects may like as filling provide all casting related defect with their causes related, shape related, thermal related and other and remedies. defects by appearance. While performing various In a casting process, the material is first number of process parameters as trial and error heated to completely melt and then poured into a basis they find out various challenges and cavity of the mold. As soon as the molten metal is uncertainty in casting process. Such types of in the mold, it begins to cool. When the defects are developed poor quality and temperature drops below the freezing point productivity. To obtain high quality they was found (melting point) of the material, solidification starts. their remedies to minimize those challenges and Solidification involves a change of phase of the uncertainty also rejections. This action may helps material and differs depending on whether the to improve quality as well as productivity in material is a pure element or an alloy. A pure metal manufacturing industry. solidifies at a constant temperature, which is its Mr. Siddalingswami , S. Hiremath, dr, melting point (freezing point).An attempt has been S.R. dulange stated that various casting defects and made to analyze the critical defects and possible their causes. they go through a industry was remedial measures are suggested for cast masters to kirloskar ferros industry ltd. Solapur, they identify have a sound knowledge about such defects with an a defects for 4R cylinder block which they found a aim to minimize rejections rates. rejection rate was more than 40%.
