A Review Paper on Minimisation of Sand Casting Defects through Quality Improvement Methods
Abstract: Casting is a process of producing near net–shape metal components. It requires detailed planning, execution and quality inspection to ensure not only the dimensional accuracy of casting parts but the metallurgical integrity and mechanical properties of castings. This paper reviews the different types of casting defects such as shrinkage porosity, cold shut, sand inclusions, mould failure, surface hardening occurring in foundries. These defects directly affect on profitability and quality level …

Structural Analysis of Heavy Vehicle Chassis Using Various Geometries and Materials
Abstract: The present research investigates the significance of the automobile chassis as a crucial section of a vehicle that provides a framework for the body and other parts to rest on. It highlights the need for the chassis to have sufficient bending stiffness for the best handling qualities, as well as enough rigidity to withstand shocks, twists, vibrations, and other loads. The draft and designing model for all the sections (I, …

Optimization Of Mechanical Properties Of 500/7 Grade Ductile Cast Iron (DCI) By Using SMAW: Applications In Reinforced Composites And Thermoplastics Through Taguchi & GRA
Abstract: Welding, a critical manufacturing process, is broadly engaged to join metals and thermoplastics using heat, pressure, or both. This study inspects the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) method to optimize welding parameters and improve the mechanical properties of Ductile Cast Iron (DCI) grade 500/7, a material widely used in high-strength and thermal conductivity applications in aerospace and automotive sectors. Using an L9 OA (orthogonal array), experiments were conducted on nine …
