Enhancement Mechanical Properties of CI200 Material using Magnetic Field

Abstract

The casting method is one of the primogenital methodologies involving squeezing and jolting the green sand used as molding material and further was established with the use of binders such as clay or organic resin. The constant search for innovative molding material leads to the magnetic process parameters i.e. magnetic field. The preliminary trials on one of the process parameter i.e. magnetic field were carried out and the input parameter for the magnetic mold was optimized. In this work CI200 cast iron has been used for the melting casting route using a furnace and the molten metal is poured into a magnetic mold in terms of altering voltage 60 Volts, 100 Volts, and 150 Volts provide to mold. CI200 casting in magnetic mold and also the espousal of magnetic field for boosted mechanical property. The CI200 casting produced from the magnetic mold was subjected to mechanical tests i.e. strength and Percentage elongation and data compared with the casting of the same composition made in sand casting. It observed that the tensile strength of CI 200 was found that 137.2424 MPa without magnetic field and with magnetic field 195.5463 MPa for 60 Volts, 216.3047 MPa for 100 Volts, and 237.3373 MPa for 150 Volts respectively the tensile strength obtained from CI200 casting made in an increasing magnetic field increase tensile strength The result suggests that casting of magnetic mold material will higher properties as compared to conventional sand casting material.
