Abstract
- Squeeze casting is a hybrid metal forming process combining features of both casting and forging in one operation. This paper reports a research in which an attempt was made to prepare solid cylindrical components of LM24 aluminum alloy through squeeze casting. The primary objective was to investigate the effect of process parameters on the mechanical properties exhibited by the castings produced though squeeze casting process. A set of trials were conducted based on parameters settings suggested in Taguchi’s offline quality control concept. The experimental results indicate that the squeeze pressure and the die-preheating temperature were the parameters making significant contribution toward improvement in mechanical properties of squeeze cast LM24 aluminum alloy.
