Abstract

The challenging problems for designers and engineers in the material science are to enhance the quality of the castings. The several numbers of methods using external forces have been applied to introduce fluid flow during solidification of molten metal in casting process. These include mechanical, electromagnetic and ultrasonic vibration. Many technical journals describe the improvement in mechanical properties of castings under the vibration during solidification. In this paper, an attempt has been made to review the casting process to refine the microstructure of cast product. The awareness gain of these processes and application of the procedures offer the scope for better cost savings in design and manufacturing of cast products.
