Casting

Casting is a process where molten metal is poured into a mold and allowed to solidify to form the desired shape. There are several types of casting processes that can be used to produce metal parts, including die casting where pressure is applied to force molten metal into a mold cavity. Investment casting, also known as lost wax casting, involves creating a wax pattern that is then coated to form the mold. Chaplets are small metal supports placed in the mold that become part of the casting during pouring. Shrinkage is a common defect that can occur during solidification as the metal cools and contracts.

Casting

1- process in pressure is applied to the liquid metal die casting


2- wax patterns (investment casting)
3- Another name for investment (lost wax)
4- Chaplets support and position cores
5- up to 2 kg requiring close tolerances Investment casting
6- will eliminate the need for an ingot (Casting)
7- Directional solidification (chills)
8- non-ferrous metals die-cast (Zinc).

Process for plastic Melding Molding

Process for metal Casting

9- Splashed metal by molten metal that does not refuse (cold shut).
10- bottom part of the flask (drag).
11- used to represent the finished item (pattern).
12- Metal is fed into the casting cavity through (gating system).
13- which produces bar (continuous)
14- upper half of a flask (cope)
15- Small metal supports which become part of the casting during
pouring (chaplet).

16- density towards the outside of the mold (centrifugal)


17- crystal structure of a casting mould wall (fine equiaxed grains).
18- . Shrinkage occurring in the casting process (3 stage).
Shrinkage stages:
Solid state Solidification Liquid state

19- manufacturing processes is producing complex shapes (casting)

20-
required when making a sand casting
Mold Pattern Flask

21- change of wall thickness is required in a casting (Large radii)


22- Wells outside the normal finished casting (shrinkage).
23- holes or cavities are required in the finished casting (core).
24-
Green sand is mixture
Clay water Sand

25- Fusion bonding creates a metallurgical effect similar (casting).


26- preferential solidification of castings(chills)
27- typical discontinuity encountered in casting: Unfused chaplets
28- defects occur only in castings: cold shuts
29- Casting cooling is as under Interior will cool last
30- One ton casting: sand casting
31- investment casting required no further machining
32- Finest smooth in casting process investment casting

33- vibrating water-cooled copper tubing Continuous casting


34- preferential cooling is casting chills
‫ يتحرك باتجاه المنطقة األعلى حرارة‬Grain growth -35
36-

Permanent Die

- fine grain structure - Need pressure


‫يحتاج الى ضغط‬
- used for:
Cylinder head - need vent
‫يحتاج الى فتحات تهوية‬
Piston
- need hot chamber
Connecting rod of engine ‫يحتاج غرف تسخين‬

No ferrous casting

Centrifugal Continues

- hollow product - solid bar


‫للمنتجات المفرغة‬

- density toward the outside - gear of small size

- used in wheel pulleys gear blank - Vibrating water-cooled


‫يستخدم مثال في التروس صغيرة الحجم يستخدم في العجالت والبكرات وفراغات‬
‫التروس‬
Investment
- wax pattern
‫نمط شمعي‬

- close tolerance

- no further maching

- finest smooth surface

- limited to small casting

used for:
- gas turbine backets
‫يستخدم لشفرات توربينات الغاز‬

- high cost
‫سعر عالي‬

- highest precision
‫يحتاج ضبط او دقة عالية‬

37- In comparison to parts produced by casting or forging interior quality


38- prevent shrinkage cavities by absorbing heat from the molten metal in the
center of the casting Internal chill

39- part of the casting where the gate or riser


provide a concentration point for discontinuities.

40- shrinkage occurs: before, during and after the transformation from
liquid to solid. (3 stages)
41- porosity in a casting gas evolution after solidification
42- solidification of a casting, the shrinkage cause cavities that are
enlarged by the evolution of gases.
43- placed in a mold cavity to increase the cooling rate at that point: chill
44- investment casting and the (lost wax process is precision casting).

45- in castings, produced during solidification, is called: shrinkage

46- Heat-absorbing devices inserted in the cast mold near the cavity chills

47-
Casting defect
Porosity Misrun cold shuts Hot tear Micro
shrinkage

48- form of inserts that exclude metal flow to form internal surfaces in a
casting core

49- discontinuities is not associated with castings laminations

50- diff between die and permanent casting is the mold in the die cast
process is destroyed after use

51- surface condition produced during casting of an ingot, caused


by hot molten splashing on the mold surface is called Blowhole
