Application of the Pareto chart and Ishikawa diagram for the identification of major defects in metal composite castings

This author discusses the use of selected quality management tools, i.e. the Pareto chart and Ishikawa fishbone diagram, for the description of composite casting defects. The Pareto chart allows to determine defect priority related with metallic composite castings, while the Ishikawa diagram indicates the causes of defect formation and enables calculating defect weights.
