Resumen

Productivity improvement is the need of current market and manufacturing sector globally. In India the manufacturing sector is concentrated towards the casting process and majority of the products are manufactured by casting process. Various factors and parameters affect the quality and productivity of the casting process. Due to variation in these parameters various types of defects and shortcomings come to the scene during the casting process. In this review paper author aims to study the casting process and the shrinkage porosity occurring during the process. The defect has been eliminated using the simulation process and the various parameters are analyzed. Optimum parameters are found and validated using the mathematical model. The simulation has been done using Pro-cast software and the optimum results are obtained. The results obtained indicate that the computer simulation results are quite accurate and reliable. Cite this Article Parth Lakum, Chauhan HN. Casting Simulation using ProCast-A Review.
