Castingxxx
The sand casting is a way of foundry in sand mold casting method. Steel, iron and most of the nonferrous
metals, about 90% of the casting products are made by sand casting.
Modeling Material
The material for manufacturing mold is known as molding material. The sand casting is mainly used for sand
mold and core sand mold, which are made of sand, binder and additive. The modeling material should have
these properties:
(1)plasticity: the sand and core sand should be easy to shape under the action of external force.
(2)Sufficient strength: the sand and core sand should not easy to damage.
(3)Fire resistance: they should be not easy to soften under high temperature, sintering and adhesion.
(4)Permeability: after tight process, the sand and core sand should be easy to ventilate.
(5)Concession: during the cooling process, the sand and core sand can be compressed.
The followings are the usual sand casting materials for sand and core sand.
Natural sand (or quartz) + binder (sodium silicate binder or clay) + addition (coal powder or sawdust, etc.)
1.The ordinary clay (white clay): dry sand mold, which features high strength and is mainly used for important
big parts (drying).
2.Clay: green sand, which is used for general parts (dry).
3.The plant oil sand (tung oil + quartz sand): core sand, dry, high strength, rolled, permeability is good, for
modalities core manufacturing.
Model and Core Box
1.The mold and core box are the tools for making mold and mold core
2.The mold is used for forming the shape of the castings. The appearance is the external shape of the castings.
The core forms the inner cavity of the casting. The core box is used for making mold core.
3.In sand casting process, it is usually used wood to manufacture the appearance of the mold and core box.
4.As for the special casting, it is used the metal mold, plastic mould and other models.
Modeling Method
In accordance with the method of the modeling, it can be classified as manual modeling and machine modeling.
1.Manual Model
The processes of sand filling and compaction, and draw are mainly by artificial to complete, which is flexible
operation, but low productivity. It is mainly used in sheet small batch production.
2. Machine Model
In the machine model, it is used the machine to build the model. Sand filling and compaction, and draw and so
on are to realize mechanization, which is high productivity. It needs large investment. It is used for mass
production of castings.
Core Making and Mold Assembling
1.The Modeling of Core
The core plays an important role in the casting process. First, the core is used for forming the inner chamber of
the casting parts. Second, it can simplify the shape of the mold, in order to manufacture the table and groove on
the casting parts. The care should be made of better material than the the green sand molding materials. The
methods of modeling core has two ways, manual and machine.
2.Mold Assembling
The casting mold assembly process refers as mold assembling. Before finishing the mold assembling, put in mold
core, buckle up the top part, place the flood basin. After finished it, lock the two cases firmly to prevent the
mismatch and lifting box.
1. Material Inspection
2. Hardness Inspection
After heat treatment, hardness of surface of casting part shall
be measured by Shore Hardness Tester.
3. Visual Inspection
4. Dimensional Inspection
5. UT Inspection
