In the present study, an endeavour has been made to investigate the mechanical properties of hollow glass microspheres reinforced die cast magnesium alloy under vacuum die casting process. The particle size, mass fraction, stirring speed has been considered as input process parameters to analyze the mechanical properties such as hardness, compressive strength, porosity and density of the syntactic foams. Taguchi-Grey relational based multi response optimization has been utilized to compute the optimal process parameters and find the influence of those parameters on performance measures of casting process. From the experimental investigation, the optimal process parameters have been found as particle size (45 microns), mass fraction (20%) and stirring speed (600 rpm) among the chosen process parameters. The highest max–min indicates the particle size has higher influence on determining the mechanical properties of the syntactic foam owing to its importance on determining the porosity. It has been also observed that the density of syntactic foam decreases with increases in the mass percentage of hollow glass microspheres.
