    1. Part quality and casting defects

    1.1 Fault classification

    The quest for part quality involves identifying anomalies or defects that may occur during the casting process. These defects or anomalies may originate from :

    • part design and layout ;

    • choice of molding technology ;

    • design of models and/or molds ;

    • definition of filling and feeding systems;

    • alloy production and liquid metal processing conditions;

    • finishing, heat treatment or surface treatment operations.

    In fact, the success of a cast part is always the result of the right combination of properties specific to...
