Casting Defect Analysis Using DMAIC
International Journal of Innovations In Engineering and Science, 1 (3): 14-16 (December 2016)
Abstract
Casting is one of the most economical routes
to produce metallic components in which the liquid
metal is directly poured into the mould cavity of required
size and shape. Formation of casting defects such as
porosity, segregation, hot tears, etc. are some of the
major drawbacks of casting processes. To improve the
quality of their products many foundries implement. Six
Sigma implementation has been globally popular in
foundries. Implementation of Six Sigma programme
benefits the foundries in numerous ways, one of the
major benefit foundries get is the elimination of
subjectivity in decision making. In this paper importance
of Six Sigma methodology implementation in foundries
along with the method has been discussed briefly.
