Resin bonded casting is widely used in today’s manufacturing industries. Furan No bake casting is most widely accepted in indian foundries due to its excellent surface finish and dimensional stability. It is a self-setting binder and it has a lower work and strip times. Though the casting process is also known as process of uncertainty, in the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of Grain Fineness Number, Loss of Ignition, Potential of Hydrogen, % of Resin with respect to sand, Sand Temperature and Compressive strength of the mould on Sand Inclusion defect – one of the most dominating defect in the Krislur Castomech Pvt. Ltd. Industry situated at Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India. The experiments were conducted based on response surface methodology (RSM) and sequential approach using face centered central composite design. The results show that quadratic model with removal of some insignificant term is comparatively best fits for Sand Inclusion Defect.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Evaluation of Critical Parameters for Sand Inclusion Defect in FNB Casting}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/101958/PDF/afe-2017-0001.pdf}, doi={10.1515/afe-2017-0001}, keywords={Furan, Grain fineness number, Loss of ignition, pH}, }
