Abstract

Since so many years a problem occurs in KSB Pump Vambori for casting process i.e. cracks occurs in thecastings & it is repeated one. Therefore the company has given opportunity to me to solve this problem. In case of steel casting there are mainly cracks & also blow holes induced due to the casting procedure. There are many factors for the casting defects .The factor is uneven material feeding in casting & also due to the mould material & also the core material. These cracks finally break directly the component of the casting i.e. in case of pump the casting component is like Impeller, Volute casing & casing cover.
