DOE Applied to Optimization of Steel Casting

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, DOE method is applied to scheme test plans for designing the casting processes with shrinkage volume information provided by InteCAST. The effect on casting defect by the setting of riser style, riser section, riser height, chill section, chill thickness were studied by the range analysis, and the influences degree of above five factors were compared by the variance analysis. The trend graphs of factor level are drawn to intuitively present the degree of importance of the factor. Optimal process parameters are obtained by using comprehensive analysis and comprehensive score method. A practical exemplification is shown to prove that the proposed method could help designer effeciently obtain a optimal feeding layout.
