Abstract

Abstract this paper is concerned with the investigation of mechanical properties of A713 alloy castings produced by
investment casting process using expandable polystyrene as the pattern material and the plaster of paris asthe mould
material. Experiments were conducted as per Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array. Castings were made under the constraint
of different process parameters like mould firing temperature, pouring temperature, firing time and mixing of silica sand
of different grain fineness numbers to investigate their effects on the surface hardness, impact strength and tensile
strength of the final castings. The variations in the trend of the aforesaid mechanical properties were observed and it was
deduced out that high mould firing temperature, higher pouring temperature, maximum firing time and high grain
fineness number significantly reduce the mechanical properties of A713 alloy castings produced.
