Analysis of the effect of sand size and vibration time on surface roughness in lost foam casting of LM6 alloy by design of experiments
In the present research, an experimental investigation in lost foam casting of an aluminum-silicon cast alloy, LM6, was conducted. The main objective of the study was to investigate the effect of different sand size and vibration time on the surface roughness of thin-wall castings. A stepped pattern...
