Popis: Casting process carries a threat of deficiency occurrence during stages of manufacturing because of the involvementof a large number of manufacturing parameters starting from design, pattern making through molding, melting, pouring, etc. to the last stage of shakeout and heat treatment. The solution tocountless casting problem requires empirical knowledge and proficiency cultivated over the many years. In particular, small and medium and scale industries often experienceimmense problems in acquiring and sustaining the scenario. The present research focused to assist medium and small scale industries for defect analysis of casting products to drive them self-sustain. The research outlines the defect diagnostic tasks in determining the cause of defects in casting and suggests remedies to rectify the casting defect based on database structure for defect analysis prepared by combining both expertize from industrial and theoretical literature exist. The computer-assisted interactive integrated module operable through skilled or unskilled persons is developed for enhancing quality control in casting industries precisely small and medium scale industries. The developed integrated module consists of defect identification and rectification steps. The identification of defects is carried out based on visual characteristics. The verification of an integrated module is also realized in coordination with industry by performing a defect identification and diagnosis generated in casting products.
