    INTRODUCTION
     Casting is a process in which molten liquid metal will be
    allowed to solidify in predefined mould cavity.
     It is first step in making most of the products
     Ex. Cylinder block of an I.C. engine, gas turbine blades, jet
    engine parts, propeller shaft, hollow cylinder pipes,
    automobile pistons, crank case, toys, hollow statue etc
    IMPORTANT TERMS

     FLASK
     PATTERN
     PARTING LINE
     MOULDING SAND
     PARTING LINE
     FACING SAND
     CORE
     POURING BASIN
     SPRUE
     RUNNER
     GATE
     CHAPLETS
     RISER
    TYPICAL SAND CASTING PROCESS
    STEPS CASTING
     Pattern making
     Core making
     Moulding
     Melting and pouring
     Cleaning
    PATTERN
     It is replica of a final casting to be produces with some
    allowances.
     Pattern materials:
     Wood
     Metal
     Plastic
     Types of pattern-
     Solid pattern
     Split piece pattern
     Loose piece pattern
     Gated pattern
     Sweep pattern
     Follow board pattern
    (SPLIT PATTERN)
    (SWEEP PATTERN)

    (COAP AND DRAG PATTERN)


    MOULDING
     Moulding is nothing but the mould preparation activities
    for receiving molten metal.
     Moulding usually involves: (i) preparing the consolidated
    sand mould around a pattern held within a supporting
    metal frame, (ii) removing the pattern to leave the mould
    cavity with cores.
     Mould cavity is the primary cavity.
     The mould cavity contains the liquid metal and it acts as a
    negative of the desired product.
    CLASSIFICATION OF THE CASTING
    TECHNIQE
     Expandable moulds-
     Sand moulding, shell moulding, investment casting, full
    moulding
     Permanent moulds-
     Centrifugal casting, die casting, slush casting, squeeze
    casting
     Continious casting-
    (EXPANDABLE MOULD)

    (PERMANENT MOULD)
    ADVANTAGES
     Intricate shape of objects
     Simple and less expensive
     Ductile and brittle materials can be produced
     Large size objects ,e.g., machine tool bed, engine
    block, road roller etc.
    LIMITATION
     Dimensional inaccuracy and surface finish
     Time consuming
     Possibility of gas defects
     Non-uniform mechanical properties due to cooling
    mechanism
