Abstract

In-situ microwave casting is one of the recently developed advanced metal casting techniques in which the bulk metal and mould assembly are exposed to microwave radiations at 2.45 GHz. In in-situ microwave casting, the exposure and self-pouring is done inside the microwave. The cast quality that has been casted through the microwave casting process is directly dependent on the process parameters that are selected during the process. This paper explores the effect of process parameters on hardness of AA-6063 by using microwave hybrid heating technique. Apply Taguchi L9 orthogonal array to conduct the experimentations. Here consider three process parameters: solidification environment, susceptor material and microwave power.
