Abstract

An optimisation technique for design of gating system parameters of a cylindrical aluminium casting based on the Taguchi method is proposed in this paper. The various gating systems for a casting model of aluminium are designed. Mould filling and solidification processes of the Aluminium casting were simulated with the PROCAST, AUTOCAST, and MAGMASOFT etc. The simulation results indicated that gating system parameters significantly affect the quality of the Aluminium casting. In an effort to obtain the optimal process parameters of gating system, an orthogonal array, the signal-to- noise (S/N) ratio, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the effect of various gating designs on cavity filling and casting quality using a weighting method.
