INTRODUCTION

Metal casting is one of the oldest manufacturing process, which basically involves pouring molten metal into a mould cavity, where upon solidification it takes the shape of the cavity. Casting process facilitates manufacturing of casting in any complicated shape using different metals. Metal casting is a complicated process with many process variables. Defects in castings is a common occurrence, which is an unwanted abnormality in a metal casting process. There are many aspects to defects in a casting, but can be difficult to identify from the results as to what caused the defect. Some of the common defects being surface defects, material defects, cooling defects, moulding & pouring defects. Defects in castings may lead to an improper shape, weak casting and poor functionality. Some defects can be repaired while a few defects can be tolerated. It is a great challenge to work on casting defects and eliminate them. Hence one needs to have a clear understanding of the defects and their remedies.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing a 2 day programme on "Defect Analysis and Troubleshooting of Casting Defects".
