Foundry

(Preparation of Casting)

 Need of Going for Casting Conventional Machining Vs Casting Use of Foundry

Play

Fly

& more

Advantages :
Complex shapes No (or) Low machining Requirement

Good Mechanical properties Throughout the component

Process:
Pattern Making

Weld Repair Raw Material Final Testing Furnace

Sample Testing

Sample check & Pouring

Curing

Knockout

Degating

Pattern Making : * Allowances :

Shrinkage Draft Machining Corrosion

* Pattern may be - Single (or)

- Split

Core Making : ** Core making is similar to mould making Position of core in mould

Use of Core :

Mould Sand Preparation :

Moulding Sand Mixer

Mould Preparation :

Raw Material :

50 % of Scrap from out side

50 % of Foundry Returns

Furnace :

Induction Furnace:

Melting :

Sample Check using Spectrometer:

Pouring : Molten metal in to Ladle

Molten metal in to Moulds

Knockout : ** Separation of casting from sand mould & Removal of cores

Knockout vibrator

Degating : Removal of Unwanted portions of casting

Heat Treatment :

Testing : Destructive Testing : Compression Testing Hardness testing Impact Testing Mechanical Testing

Non Destructive Testing :

Radiographic Examination Magnetic Particle Inspection Liquid Penatrent Examination

Heat Treatment :
