Abstract

One of the most important manufacturing sectors is the foundry industry, which provides cast components to heavy engineering, automotive, aerospace, construction, power generation, and agricultural. Maintaining constant quality is still quite difficult because of the intricacy of casting procedures. Numerous aspects, such as raw material selection, process control, metallurgical processes, inspection techniques, and labor competency, affect quality in foundries. The concept of quality and several dimensions of quality in foundries are thoroughly examined in this work. Process quality, material quality, surface finish, dimensional correctness, metallurgical soundness, inspection systems, and quality management techniques are all covered. The article also discusses typical quality flaws, difficulties foundries encounter, relevant quality requirements, and contemporary technological solutions for quality enhancement. The study highlights the need of systematic quality management for foundry operations' long-term viability, customer satisfaction, and cost reduction.
