Abstract

Casting is one of the most economical processes which are used to get complicated metal shapes which then require little or almost no machining. Major defects found in casting, such astheshrinkagecavity,porosityandhottearsetc.areobtainedresultsofsolidificationprocess of molten metal. Minimization of these defects is possible by making appropriate changes in the feeding parameters, such as location of feeder, size of feeder and shape etc. By choosing correct set of parameters we can achieve the desired quality and yield that are difficult to achieve. This iswhy a need has felt for the computer aided optimal feeder design united with the solidification simulation to condense the number of trials on shop floor and to obtain enhancedyieldwithhighquality,innominalpossibletime.Thispaperdescribesandgivesthe information about research carried out in the past, to foretell the location of the shrinkage porosity and various techniques used to minimize the shrinkage porosity, by stressing the important conclusions andresults.
