Abstract

Investment casting process, also known as lost wax process, is utilized when complex detail, undercuts or non-machinable features and accurate parts are desired. It begins with a wax pattern which is an exact replica of the as cast part. So the properties of the wax patterns are ultimately passed on to the castings. The confirmation tests with optimal levels of process parameters are carried out to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed method. Using Taguchi method the optimisation is done. This optimization results revealed that a overall improvement in the quality of the castings and hence in production, the rejection rate is reduced causing more profit to the organisation with greater surface finish & limited dimensional tolerances.
