Setup of the industries as app lied to casting foundries need timely setup and changes to cope up with the increasing demand from the customers as foundries have great demand for the products produced, in numerous fields. In this paper various parameters of importance are improved by employing shell mould process to the castings which were previously produced by green sand mould process. Keywords: shell mould process, Green sand mould process, foundries. *** 1. INTRODUCTION well as finishing. Sand used in green sand mould process contains high moisture content whereas shell mould process An object made by pouring molten metal into the mould, uses fine-grained
