Investigations for Statistically Controlled Hot Chamber Die Casting Solution of Aluminium Alloys

Abstract:

The purpose of the present investigations is to study the effect of processing parameters on statistically controlled hot chamber die casting solution for Al alloy. The study presented in this paper is based on a macro model (based on Taguchi design). Castings prepared at proposed parametric settings (as per macro model) have been investigated for functional validation of the parts. The study suggested significant improvement in dimensional accuracy (ΔD) at proposed parametric settings and the process was found to be under statistical control.
