摘要：Design of experiments has been used, to study the influence of process parameters on the mechanical properties during centrifugal casting of aluminum alloy (5500). Taguchi method of design of experiments was employed to optimize the process parameters and to increase the mechanical properties such as UTS, elongation, BHN. The investigation has indicated that increase in pouring temperature reduces mechanical properties while increase in die speed increases mechanical properties and density. Results were analyzed using ANOVA technique to know the percentage of contribution of each casting process parameters. Microstructures were studied under optical microscope and SEM and were analyzed with process parameters by correlating with the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy.
