Defect Investigation of Sand Casted Aluminum Cooling Fan

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sand casting is one of manufacturing process that still exist today. Numerous products are produced to serve industrial and domestic use. Defect could lead to product performance, and unfortunately inevitable in a casting process. This paper aim to investigate typical defect resulted from sand casting process. An aluminum cooling fan was selected as the model since it has complicated shape with different thicknesses. The casted fan was investigated under photo micro for defect analysis. Porosity, gas inclusion, pinhole, and shrinkage were found as the common defects occured at different part of the fan.
