Uniform sand hardness is obtained through out
the mould by sand slinger. Sand slinging is done
by throwing sand into the flask rapidly and with
great force. This process develops uniform high
mould hardness. The process is very fast and
gives high uniform sand ramming. The sand
should be uniformly sprayed into the mould by
moving the nozzle through the entire area of the
flask. Also it is necessary that the sand be
sprayed in layers to achieve uniform hardness.
ie
The advantage of shell moulding are:
Better surface finish
Better dimensional tolerances
Reduced machining
Less foundary space required
Low labour costs
Can be easily automated for mass
production
High productivity
8. Complex shapes can be made as there is
no need to withdraw the pattern
8. Very fine details and thin sections can be
obtained.
But main advantage is that high production rate
is possible.

In sand moulding, the bottom most part of th
drag is called cheek.
In order to ram the sand soften on the pattern,
face and harder at the back of the mould,
squeeze ramming is used. In squeeze ramming,
a plate slightly smaller than the inside
dimensions of the moulding flask is fitted into
the flask already fitted with the moulding sand,
‘Auniform pressure is applied on the plate, which,
compacts the sand uniformly. The sand next to
the plate rams hardest while the sand below
(face of pattern) is progressively less hard,
‘The taper provided on pattern for its easy and
clean withdrawal from the mould is called draft |

Extusion is not a casting process.
Pattern colour coding practice is followed in the

5. Green : Loose pieces or loose core prints
In order to facilitate the withdrawal of pattern,
draft is provided on pattern. At the time of
withdrawing the pattern from the sand mould,
the vertical faces of the pattern are in continuous
Contact with the mould wall, which may damage
the mould cavity. To avoid this, the vertical faces.Mechanical Engineering

Cupola is best suited for melting ferrous metals.
Permeability of a foundry sand is the porosity of
sand to permit the escape of gases/air.
om
For fine grains, permeability is poor, Permeability
is defined as the porosity of the moulding sand
in order to allow the escape of any air, gases or
moisture present or generated in the mold when
the molten metal is poured into it, Permeability
is a function of grain size, grain shape and
moisture and clay contents in the moulding sand.

Metals like aluminium, brass, cast iron are used
for making patterns. The dimensional accuracy

Binders are added to give cohesion to moulding
sand. It provides strength to the moulding sand
and enable it to retain its shape as mould laxity.
So, synthetic sand consisting of silica sand is
added with bentonite and water which provide
bonding strength to it.
Eo
The shape and size of the sand grains affects
various moulding sand properties. The size can
be coarse or fine and the shape can be round
or angular. Coarse grains increase permeability
and fine grains provide surface finish Thus
porosity of sand is determined by the shape and
size of the sand grains.
Cereals are added to the moulding sand to
improve green strength. The moulding sand
containing moisture is termed as green sand.
The green sand should have enough strength
so thatthe constructed mould retains its shape.121
Plastic toys are usually produced by using
injection moulding. Both thermoplastics and
thermosetting plastics are injection moulded and
various products like cups, containers,

Resins are the additives used in moulding sand
to improve the surface finish of castings. Resins,
natural or synthetic gum with high metting points
like phenol formaldehyde has a good
collapsibility, low gassing and is capable of
delivering a good surface finish.
{b),
Under the influence of the metallostatic force,
the mould wall may move back causing a swell
in the dimensions of the casting. It is caused
due to non-uniform ramming of the moulding
sand.
For all those castings where coring is required,
provision should be made to support the core
inside the mould cavity, which is provided by
core prints. An important factor to be taken into
account while designing a core print is moulding
sand characteristics. Also buoyancy force of the
molten metal decides the design of core prints.
