CLASIFICATION OF CASTING DEFECTS : A REVIEW
Keywords:
Casting; defects in casting; Classification of casting defects; Causes and remedies for casting defectsAbstract
Casting is a age old production technique wherein cavities are formed by a pattern into a porous and refractive
material, usually sand, and then liquid metal is poured into the cavity so that it takes up the shape of the cavity, thus
forming the required metal product. Green sand casting process involves many process parameters which affect the
quality of the casting produced. Defect in casting are observed and hence casting process is also known as process of
uncertainty which challenges explanation about the cause of casting defects. In order to identify the casting defect and
problem related to casting, the study is aimed in the research work. This will be beneficial in enhancing the yield of
casting.
