Abstract

A pattern is used to create cavities in a porous, reflective material, typically sand, and then liquid metal is poured into the voids, taking on the shape of the cavities to form the desired metal product. This process is known as casting. Many process variables in the green sand casting process have an impact on the casting quality. The goal of this review paper is to use the Design of Experiments method, such as the Taguchi method, to optimize a green sand casting process parameter. The Taguchi Method is a potent approach to tackling issues that can raise productivity, yield and process performance. Using Taguchi analysis, the impact of various process parameters at various levels on casting quality can be analysed and the various parameters can be tuned to their ideal values.
