1.2 Statement of the Research Problem
i.
Determining the responsibility of conditioning foundry sand, how it is
measured and the main difficulties face in its implementation of
producing the cast object within the manufacturing sector.
ii.
Determining the impact of foundry sand on Aluminium casting and
possible defect after casting of the propose object.
iii. Understanding the widely practice of sand how it being carried out in the foundry shop.
Consistency
of quality is particularly important when casting most especially
Aluminium and it alloys. Nowadays, in developing economics because of
the downstream implication. In its application sand preparation is
taken as prerequisite and important as casting itself. Any deviation
from the characteristics known with a particular mixture of sand could
affect the strength of the casting (Aluminium) thereby holding both
current and intending customers.
The time dimension and varies
services the foundries offers coupled with the level of technology in
use are measure of quality improvement over the last few years in
Nigeria manufacturing of Aluminium casting and responses to foundry sand
preparation in the casting industry.
In the developing optimum sand
for Aluminium casting bring some changes in casting, which automatically
reduces wastage in casting. Considering the pouring of molten metal
into mould cavity and solidification of an aluminium alloy.
1.3 Objective of the project
The objectives of this project are
i. To make recommendation for the best foundary sand mixture for
Aluminium casting especially big component like flenge.
ii. To understand and to determine the best sand to be used
between natural moulding sand and synthetic moulding sand.
iii. To determine the quality of sand being used and the grain structure of sand applied.
iv. To contribute towards inceasing the existing body of
knowledge in the implementation of the effect of foundry sand on quality
of Aluminium casting.
1.4 Purpose of the Project
The purpose of this study includes the following:-
· To evaluate the impact of foundry sand preparation on the quality of aluminium casting.
·
To make recommendation for the best foundry sand mixture for Aluminium
casting especially big component like flange
· To
understand and to determine the best sand to be used between natural
moulding sand and synthetic moulding sand.
· To determine the quality of sand being used and the grain structure of sand applied.
1.5 Significance of the Project
·
To contribute towards increasing the existing body of knowledge in the
implementation of the effect of foundry sand on quality of Aluminium
casting.
· To determine and to understand the best
sand to be used between natural moulding sand and synthetic moulding
sand.
1.6 Limitation of the Study
The study base on the
research methodology (i.e. primary source data, Yaba College of
Technology Yaba Lagos) as strategy and vital information are not
forthcoming as expected due to problem I faced during the construction
of moulding box and the moulding for my project i.e. (FUTA LOGO).
Failure of electricity supply during the casting of my project and a lot of difficulties during feeling and finishing operations

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This study tend to investigate the effect of synthetic and natural moulding sand on casting of flange like component. In this study FUTA logo was selected to be cast using aluminium metal. The casting was carried out and the result was analysed according to the quality of casting. It was discovered that for large size component using aluminium, it is better to use synthetic sand and which is hereby recommended for casting Aluminum large size component. ... Continue reading---
