is a cast part produced by forming a mold from a
sand mixture and then pouring molten liquid metal into the cavity
in the mold. The mold is then cooled until the metal has solidified
Sand casting
What is sand casting?
is a cast part produced by forming a mold from a
sand mixture and then pouring molten liquid metal into the cavity
in the mold. The mold is then cooled until the metal has solidified
What are the general steps in shand casting?
- Pattern- making
- Core- making
- Molding
- Metal and pouring
- Cleaning
design to be replicated
pattern- making
internal cavity surface
core
preparation for the receiving of molten
metal
molding
removal of mold, core, scales, or excess
metal
cleaning
Mold consists of two halves:
cope and dragg
what is the cope?
upper half of mold
drag
bottom half of mold
The _______ in the sand mold is formed by packing sand around
a pattern, then separating the mold into two halves and
removing the pattern
cavity
If casting is to have internal surfaces, a _____ must be included
in mold
core
The mold must also contain ________ and ________.
gating and riser system
is inverse of final shape with shrinkage allowance
cavity
is model of final shape with shrinkage allowance
pattern
is made by adding binder in the sand
wet sand
Mold cavity is formed by packing sand around a _______
pattern
The pattern is usually ________ to allow for shrinkage of metal during solidification and cooling
oversized
provides the external features of the cast part
cavity
provides internal features of the part. It is placed inside the
mold cavity with some support.
core
In sand casting, cores are generally made of ________
sand
It is channel through which molten metal flows into cavity from outside
of mold
gating system
Consists of a ________, through which metal enters a ______
leading to the main cavity
down-sprue; runner
At the top of down-sprue, a ___________ is often used to minimize
splash and turbulence as the metal flows into down-sprue
pouring cup
