1 Castings 65tons, 7m high, 43cm dia, 1600years old
2 At 500/550 pound in weight. The biggest Gravity Die Casting in The World at the Time
3 CASTING AND RELATED PROCESSES Casting : Forming the metal in liquid state by solidification in molds of desired shapes. Inexpensive, economic (no chips formed) Fundamentals: 6 steps are involved in the casting process: 1. A mold/ cavity A mold for each cast part (Single-Use Molds) Permanent mold (Multiple-Use Molds, Metal or graphite) Shrinkage allowance 2. Melting (proper temperature, desired quantity& quality, reasonable cost) 3. Pouring (gas escaping, free of defects) 4. Solidification (the nucleation, the growth, free of cracks) 5. Mold removal (draft angle, extractor) 6. Cleaning, finishing & inspection
4 SAND CASTING for any metal Pattern, Flasks, Molds, Core, Cope, Drag, Risers, Gating, Runners, Sprue Sand : a refractory material with additives will solidify (for molds) -The pattern simulates the part when making the mold and packing the sand -The pattern has to be next removed form the mold to leave place for metal -The mold has to be made such that it could be divided -An inlet is required to bring the metal to the mold sprue hole
5 - System of channels runners, are required to bring metal to every place of the mold :Gating system (controls the metal flow) - Sometimes, a Core is required (for hollow parts) cavity inside the mold - PINS are required to position the two holding boxes: Flasks: DRAG & COPE
6
7 Solidification: 1. Nucleation Undercooling Impurities, Grain refinement 2. Growth Directional Solidification Cooling rate: Faster Finer grains Slower Larger grains
8 Solid-liquid phase cooling curve: shows the type of alloy High super heat Larger time to fill delicate shape Thermal arrest plateau of latent heat of fusion (Eutectic alloy)-alloy with freezing range
9 Undercooling recalescence
10 Prediction of total solidification time: Chvorinov s rule t s =B (V/ A) n V- volume of casting A- surface area B- mold constant n- [1.5, 2] T s of Riser >> T s of casting (In general 1.25 times) Different Cooling rates, Ts Different grain and material properties Faster Cooling Finer grains Slower Cooling Larger grains Cast Part Zones: Rapid Zone, Columnar Zone, Equi-axed zone
11 Pattern is not identical with the part to be cast size modification, shape modification and shape modifications according to the requirements of casting process - made of wood, plastic on certain easy-to-machine metals Pattern Design - Dimensions of the pattern have to incorporate shrinkage allowances differ, depending on the kind of metal, typically 1-2% - Special shrink rules are used by the pattern makers - Large holes and Surface are tapered to allow its withdrawal Draft angles (1%-4%)
12 - Draft angle requirement affect the thickness of the wall weight of the casting - If machining is followed some finishing allowance have to be provided, depending on the casting experience Shrink Allowances must be considered. - Shrinking can cause a distortion of the casting allowances may be required as per experience of designer to avoid such distortions.
13 Length:196mm, dia: 96mm Different ways of doing it: Machining allowance: 2mm Melting point: 1520C, Room temp:20c LCT: 20ppm 20um/m/C Shrinkage Allowance on length = (196+2*2)*20e-6*1500=6mm 3mm on both sides (3%) Shrinkage allowance on dia = (96+2*2)*20e-6*1500=3mm on dia.
14 Different Ways of Designing
15
16
17 Gas Release, Reaction with mold gas release porosity, voids Gating Flow System: Reduce Gas Absorption (Less Turbulence, No vortex) Regulate Flow ( larger area, sprue well, runner well)
18 TYPES OF PATTERNS: For removable patterns A. Solid Pattern simple shapes made of one piece only B. Split Pattern More complicated, made of two parts. - half of the pattern will rest in the lower part of the mold (drag) - the second half in the upper part (cope) - the split is at the parting line C. Loose piece pattern pattern must be divided to allow its removal D. Gated pattern for serial production made of metal and there are multiple pattern on the same main branch E. Match plate pattern for production they include runners and gate systems F. Follow Board for patterns difficult to split this avoids making a cavity for a solid pattern for symmetrical patterns G. Sweep Patterns- for rotary parts & straight sweep pattern for grooves
19 Simple Shapes No. of castings is small Needs follow board to position the pattern
20 Split Pattern Moderate quantities Pattern is split along the parting line Pattern halves are aligned with tapered pins Cope and drag molds are made with split patterns
21 Match Plate Pattern Large quantities of duplicate castings Split patterns are fastened to wood/metal match-plate Pattern plate is aligned to flasks with alignment pins Cope and drag molds are made separately and assembled Independent molding of cope and drag Gating, runner, riser can be part of match plate.
22 Sand castings of complex shapes Loose Piece Pattern When pattern removal is difficult with protruding sections Loose patterns are held by beveled pins or grooves Once the mold is formed, main segment is removed followed by loose pieces Expensive Substitute for full-mold or investment casting
23 SAND MOLDS: Made of SiO2 Traditional molding material Requirement for Sand: in molds 1. Refractoriness withstanding high temperature - basic to sand 2. Bond- retaining of shape, strength 3. Permeability allowing the gases to escape 4. Collapsibility permitting the metal to shrink mold would not collapse For molds, Green Sand is used and reused, (recycled) Additives: mixed with the sand to obtain the required properties (mainly 2,3,4) (clay (9%), Water (3%)) For Uniform Mixture, sand put into a muller Other additives: Silicate of Sodium (Na 2 SiO 3 ) 4% - hardened when exposed to CO 2 gas
24 SAND TESTING STANDARDIZED METHODS to control the sand quality (size of grains, moisture content, clay content, mold, hardness, permeability and bond ). Size of grains controlled by 11 standard series in decreasing mesh size shaken for 15 min and weighed. Moisture by electrical conductivity of small samples or by weight loss of 50g sample after C Clay- by washing the clay out of a standard amount of foundry sand (50g) Permeability- with special equipment Strength test Special equipment (moisture gives the strength) Hardness Penetration of a ball loaded by a spring the some Brinell hardness test
25
26 Sand conditioning before the use (properties of conditioned sand) Sand is uniformly mixed with additives and has uniform moisture content Sand is aerated at uniform room temperature such that sand can be processed through machines to make a mold Sand mold preparation Machines are used + help of an operator JOLT SQUEEZE, Roll over molding machine Two halves of a flask they can be slightly opened Highest density of sand should be obtained close to the pattern Special flexible diaphragm squeezing process can be applied for very accurate casting. Before pouring metal, heavy weights are placed on top of the mold to prevent separation of mold sections Great importance is attached to the hardness of the skin of the molds. There are skin drying process involving heating of the surfaces and adding of some binders. Large floor molds made on the floor sand slings have been developed for tamping of the sand (up to 12 m long molds. Pneumatic sand rams in helping in extra tamping Larger molds can be in Pits on the floor Sections of dried sand can be used to make modular mold

30 CORES: Allow producing holes and cavities inside the casts. Different methods in using of cores Cores may be classified as - green sand cores made of the same sand as the molds - dry sand cores with binders of increasing strength and are dried more expensive sand Green sand cheaper good enough Made in special core boxes, sometimes using special machines Cores strength increased by adding silicate of soda Na 2 SiO 3 followed by CO 2 process Na 2 SiO 3 + CO 2 Na 2 CO 3 + SiO 2 (colloidal) Core making process the same as for molds
31 Cores need to be installed in molds molds require recesses to accommodate cores, called CORE PRINTS. Core require sometimes support, which is done by chaplets which become a part of the mold (not removed) Core manufacturing mechanised machines for very complicated cores, for engine blocks Cores can be avoided by making the patterns and molds in a special way shell molds
32 SHELL MOLDING For smaller, more precise or 2 sizes much large than the third one parts MOLD:mixture of sand and resin (thermosetting plastic) stronger but more expensive Shell Mold has a form of two half mold shells, which are clamped together before pouring of metal Metal Pattern is required
33 Procedure to fabricate the shell: 1. Sand mixed with resin 6. Pattern builds 3-5 mm thick sand 2. Sand + resin slurry dump box 7. Shell placed in oven for 1 min to cure the shell 3. Metal pattern is heated 8. The second shell is obtained by Placed on top of dump box 9. Molds are assembled 5. Box inverted & kept 30 sec (few times) 10. Molds (more than 1) put in to a flask reinforcement
34
35 Advantages: Close tolerances Smooth surfaces Low sand cost, as compared to metal dies Disadvantages High cost of metal pattern, resin and equipment
36 FULL MOLD PROCESS one piece mold. (LOST-FOAM CASTING) Disposable pattern are used made of materials which vaporises upon pouring of metal Styrofoam or polystyrene made of one piece with sprue, gates and runners fixed to pattern No taper walls are required Used in case of only few castings (prototypes made around 20numbers) Very large casting could be made Complicated molds shapes used.
37
38 INVESTMENT CASTING PROCESS Single use patterns High precision, very good surface quality (0.2%) Good permeability ceramic molding STEPS Produce a master pattern Produce a master die Produce wax patterns Assemble wax patterns on a single sprue Coat the cluster with investment material (dip or spray) Produce the final investment Leave dry the investment material Heat the cast to remove the wax Set the mold in flask Preheat the cast ( C) Pour the melted metal Remove the casting from the mold Permeability assured by small cracks in the surface of the mold.

42 PERMANENT MOLD CASTING PROCESS : Introduction in early 1900 s. Known for Higher quality and larger quantity Uses gravity only to introduce metal to the mold (made of steel) Cores made usually of dry sand used for quite complicated shapes Better accuracy and surface finish than sand casting Special vent holes have to be made for gases no permeability in metal mold Very effective in production Materials : Al, Mg, & Zn alloys more recent:cast iron & steel Smaller, complicated parts, engine pistons (large quantities) Certain shapes can be done (difficult for large parts such as engine blocks)
43 Low Pressure Permanent Molds casting Process Uses besides the gravity, some pressure to pour metal into permanent mold - Easy to automate Vacuum Permanent Mold - variation of the permanent mold casting - Thin wall casting can be produced - Max size: 10 lb - Good mechanical properties of the component
44 DIE CASTING PROCESS Metal injected in to steel mold at high pressure and held under pressure during solidifying period. Heavy machines are used Usually non ferrous metals are used Al, Cu, Zn Very high accuracy and good surface finish are obtained The internal part of the work is porous Dies are very complicated mold of many parts experience Must be cooled & ejectors must be included Only for high quantity production pieces, to justify the investment
45 STEPS: 1. Closing & locking the die 2. Metal injection and the die pressurized for a while 3. Metal has to solidify in the die 4. Opening of the die 5. Ejection of the casting + cleaning of the die The pressure of the melted metal is variable during the pouring process (injection) can be controlled improves density & reduces porosity Pressures 2000 bar Parts up to 80 lbs (size up to 600 mm) Engine blocks, transmission housings Die Casting machines : two types A. Hot chamber die casting machine - Hot metal held in a goose neck chamber - The plunger forces the metal out, into the die - It cannot handle metals at higher melting point temperatures, used mainly for Zn, Pb, Sn based alloys - Fast operation up to 6 cycle/ min
46
47 B. Cold chamber die casting machine - Cycle of operation longer than for hot chamber machine (2 cycle /min) - Operator used to pour metal and handle the parts - Hydraulically operating machines (automated cycles) - Metal cores are used and they have to be backed off when the die is opened - Small vent and overflow holes are also made in the die - Hard skin (good) & porous interior (bad) - Excellent accuracy and finish - Very thin wall and small draft (small weight) Comparison: permanent mold die casting
48
49 CENTRIFUGAL CASTING for symmetrical & rotary parts - Mold spun up to 2500 RPM depending on the cast part (vertical or horizontal axis) metal introduced into the cavity is spread along the wall where it solidifies - Molds are made of dry sand or metals - Round cylindrical or similar shapes can be cast - Only outside surface must have a mold cheaper - Inner surface : cylindrical or parabolic centrifugal force - Light impurities tend to appear on the inner surface due to the centrifugal effect improved purity of the metal good for bearings - Dense external surface of the casting which solidifies first
50 Equipment not expensive for small parts bearings, bushing, pipes, cylindrical shapes are cost SEMICENTRIFUGAL CASTING -When the metal cast is achieved by both gravity and centrifugal forces (low speed) - A core is required for hollow shapes - Gives more dense structures of metal - Several casting in one cast Centrifugal Casting Process: several casting are made in multi cavity mold - To obtain more dense grain structure low rotational speed
51 CONTINUOUS CASTING - Long continuous shapes, with shaped cross section can be cast by continuous casting - Pieces are then cut after solidifying (steel, Al, Cu) - Eliminates energy losses from re-heating, cost of ingots, molds, handling, transportation - Surface defects occur (cracks)
52 MELTING & POURING - Melting in a furnace - Requirements for furnaces: * Provide the required temperature, quantity and quality * Do not contaminate the metal * Economical * To be capable to control the melting process when additives are introduced TYPES OF FURNACES CUPOLAS refractory lined, vertical cylindrical with a sand bed at the bottom - wood placed at the bottom a bed of coke over it - After ignition and burn, alternate charge of coke and iron are added from the top - 10% by weight of coke is used - Limestone is added to increase the fluidity - When iron melts, it drops down through the coke - Blasting of air accelerates melting - When enough metal is collected, the tap hole is opened an the metal flows out into a ladle - Simple, economical, but metal is contaminated with the coke ingredients
53
54 ARC FURNACES - Do not introduce contamination from the heat source - Can produce a very pure metal - Melting is rapid - Good melting and anti-pollution - Can hold the molten metal for long time - Heating occurs by lowering the electrodes so that an arc is created between them & metal - Melting in vacuum removes gases and assures higher purity - The induction furnace and the mold enclosing are done directly
55 INDUCTION FURNACES - Similar advantages as arc furnace - Can be high frequency or low frequency induction furnace - It has only one alternating current primary coil - A channel of molten metal forms secondary coil - Low voltage, high amperage current is include in the secondary coil - Some molten metal has to be used as a starter - Capacity up to 65 tons
56 POURING PROCESS + Transportation - To bring metal from the furnace to the molds, the LADLES are used - They can be hand or lift operated ladles - The slag is prevented to enter the molds - Automatic pouring systems can be used in automatic line foundries
