Selection of Process Parameters for Mechanical properties of Aluminium Alloys by Centrifugal Casting Using Taguchi Method Approach

摘要

In this paper, the influence of process parameters for the mechanical properties in centrifugal casting of aluminium alloy of (4600 of IS 617: 1975) is presented. The use of Taguchi method is employed for arriving at optimal process parameters to get the desired value of mechanical properties. Taguchi method of design of experiments and analysis has been adopted to optimise the process parameters and maximum mechanical properties. The investigation has indicated that increase in pouring temperature reduces mechanical properties while increase in die speed increases mechanical properties and density. Thermal conductivity of coating does not have significant effect.
