Model of Diagnosing and Searching for Incompatibilities in Aluminium Castings

An essential element of any industry is castings, which is determined by the technical conditions for their reception. However, conducting production in the foundry technology is burdened with many difficulties associated with, for example, the inability to control all of the parameters that may aff...
