Abstract
The air in the mould cavity is pushed out by liquid metal when the liquid metal entered mould cavity. In green sand-casting process, the air passes through the pores in the mould. Permanent mould doesn’t have pores and the air released from the mould cavity only through air outlet. Low pressure on mould cavity make liquid metal easier and faster filling the mould cavity, and make casting process can be done at lower temperature, the main focus of this research is about effect of pouring temperature on the low-pressure casting process to tensile strength and porosity of the aluminium. The casting process carried out at 750, 800 and 850°C. Aluminium smelting uses electric furnace and the mould used is a metal mould with a pressure of 0.33 atm. The casting process on aluminium at low pressure (-0.33 atm) and at a temperature of 750 °C produces the highest tensile strength compared to aluminium casting at 800 and 850 °C. The increasing pouring temperature increasing porosity of aluminium is from 1.86% at 750 °C to 4.03% at 850 °C.
