Abstract:
Productivity improvement is the need of current market and manufacturing sector globally. In
India the manufacturing sector is concentrated towards the casting process and majority of
the products are manufactured by casting process. Various factors and parameters affect the
quality and productivity of the casting process. Due to variation in these parameters various
types of defects and shortcomings come to the scene during the casting process. In this review
paper author aims to study the casting process and the shrinkage porosity occurring during
the process. The defect has been eliminated using the simulation process and the various
parameters are analyzed. Optimum parameters are found and validated using the
mathematical model. The simulation has been done using Pro-cast software and the optimum
results are obtained. The results obtained indicate that the computer simulation results are
quite accurate and reliable.
