Popis: Today's foundry intentions are to succeed the cost-effective casting process. As a consequence of this goal, most of the researchers established numerical models for effective outputs. Numerical models of casting parameters have more considerable outputs for the foundry planner. Generally, the sand casting process comprises numerous parameters interdependently. If the parameters are not measured properly, the mould cavity is forced to reach the defects like porosity and blowholes. To overcome these defects, an extensive study on these factors is needed. During solidification, the important parameters like furnace, sand and vent holes affect the material properties. The molten temperature, pouring time and holding time are most significant parameters in sand casting. Aluminium is one of the highly desirable materials in sand casting. In this work, the various furnace parameters are analysed and compared using artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy logic models. The hardness and surface roughness are analysed and the work pieces are tested by using NDT techniques.
