Processes
Casting
Permanent good finish, low porosity, high Costly mold, simpler gears, gear housings
mold production rate shapes only
Die Excellent dimensional accuracy, costly dies, small parts, gears, camera bodies,
high production rate non-ferrous metals car wheels
Centrifugal Large cylindrical parts, good Expensive, few shapes pipes, boilers,
quality flywheels
RAKESH CHANDER SAINI 4
Sand Casting
pattern: positive
funnel sprue
runners gate
cavity
{risers, vents}
(b) Why is the pattern not exactly identical to the part shape?
- how to determine?
(d) taper
- do we need it ?
Mold
cavity
- Styrofoam pattern
- dipped in refractory slurry dried
- sand (support)
- pour liquid metal
- foam evaporates, metal fills the shell
- cool, solidify
- break shell part
molten
metal
support polystyrene
sand pattern burns;
polystyrene gas escapes
pattern
- permanent mold
- rotated about its axis at 300 ~ 3000 rpm
- molten metal is poured
