CASTING
INTRODUCTION
How do we define casting?
Casting can be defined as melting the metal and pouring
the molten metal in the mould cavity to get the desired
shape after solidification.
Why casting is important?
In order to get the desired & complicated shape which
otherwise is not possible by any other means. Also it is the
cheapest way of producing the components.
SEQUENCE OF STEPS INVOLVED IN SAND CASTING
Advantages
• Can produce very large parts (weighing up to 200 tons)
• Can form complex shapes
• Many material options
• Low tooling and equipment cost
• Scrap can be recycled
• Short lead time possible
ADVANTAGES, LIMITATIONS, APPLICATIONS
Limitations
• Poor material strength
• High porosity possible
• Poor surface finish and tolerance
• Secondary machining often required
• Low production rate
• High labor cost
Applications Engine blocks and manifolds, machine bases, gears, pulleys
Turbine Manifold Cast-Iron Machine
Housing

SAND CASTING
MOLD PREPARATION
1. Flask: A metal or wood frame, without fixed top or
bottom, in which the mold is formed.
Depending upon the position of the flask in the
molding structure, it is referred to by various names
such as
 Drag – lower molding flask,
 Cope – upper molding flask,
 Cheek – intermediate molding flask used in three
piece molding.
2. Pattern: It is the replica of the final object to be made.
The mold cavity is made with the help of pattern.
3. Parting line: This is the dividing line between the two molding flasks that
makes up the mold.
4. Molding sand: Sand, which binds strongly without losing its permeability to
air or gases. It is a mixture of silica sand, clay, and moisture in appropriate
proportions.
5. Facing sand: The small amount of carbonaceous material sprinkled on the
inner surface of the mold cavity to give a better surface finish to the castings.
6. Core: A separate part of the mold, made of sand and generally baked, which is
used to create openings and various shaped cavities in the castings.
7. Pouring basin: A small funnel shaped cavity at the top of the mold into which
the molten metal is poured.
8. Sprue: The passage through which the molten metal, from the pouring basin,
reaches the mold cavity. In many cases it controls the flow of metal into the
mold.
9. Runner: The channel through which the molten metal is carried from the
sprue to the gate.
10. Gate: A channel through which the molten metal enters the mold cavity.
11. Chaplets: Chaplets are used to support the cores inside the mold cavity to take
care of its own weight and overcome the metallostatic force.
12. Riser: A column of molten metal placed in the mold to feed the castings as it
shrinks and solidifies. Also known as “feed head”.
13. Vent: Small opening in the mold to facilitate escape of air and gases.
