Establish a machine learning based model for optimal casting conditions management of small and medium sized die casting manufacturers

Abstract

AbstractDie casting is a suitable process for producing complex and high precision parts, but it faces challenges in terms of quality degradation due to inevitable defects. The casting parameters play a significant role in quality, and in many cases, producers rely on their experience to manage these parameters. In order to address this, domestic small and medium sized die casting companies have established smart factories (MES) and collected data. This study aims to utilize this data to construct a machine learning based optimal casting parameter model to enhance quality. During the model development process, distinct important features were identified for each company. This indicates the necessity of deriving tailored models for each site, aligning with the make to order (MTO) environment, rather than a generalized model.
