Description

Sand casting method is used to produce many useful products for many applications. The aim of the study is to manufacture a product with excellent dimensional geometry is achieved in sand casting process at low cost. We would expect manuscripts to show how design and/or manufacturing problems have been solved using computer modeling, simulation and analysis. In this work, the important mechanical properties of hardness and surface roughness are investigated on Aluminum 6063 cast material with and without incorporating the copper tubes as a vent hole in sand casting process. Since copper has high thermal conductivity when compared to other metals, the heat transfer rate will be varying from existing system. The copper tubes have made different diameters of holes on outer surfaces with selective distance of intervals. The specific number of copper tubes with various diameters are designed by CATIA modeling software and analyzed with Taguchi Design of Experiment. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array is used proficiently in the optimal value of hardness and surface roughness. The results are revealed that the maximum hardness value of 104 BHN is attained for 10mm distance of holes made on copper tube with an angle of 90o degree. The minimum surface roughness of 2.11 micron is achieved for 20mm distance of holes made on copper tube with 45o of angle as a vent hole in sand casting process. 2024 E3S Web of Conferences
