Dry Sand Molding


When it is desired that the gas forming materials are lowered in the molds, air-dried molds are sometimes preferred
to green sand molds. Two types of drying of molds are often required.
1.
2.

Skin drying and


Complete mold drying.

In skin drying a firm mold face is produced. Shakeout of the mold is almost as good as that obtained with green sand
molding. The most common method of drying the refractory mold coating uses hot air, gas or oil flame. Skin drying of
the mold can be accomplished with the aid of torches, directed at the mold surface.
Shell Molding Process
It is a process in which, the sand mixed with a
thermosetting resin is allowed to come in contact
o
with a heated pattern plate (200 C), this causes a
skin (Shell) of about 3.5 mm of sand/plastic
mixture to adhere to the pattern.. Then the shell is
removed from the pattern. The cope and drag
shells are kept in a flask with necessary backup
material and the molten metal is poured into the
mold.
This process can produce complex parts with
good surface finish 1.25 m to 3.75 m, and
dimensional tolerance of 0.5 %. A good surface
finish and good size tolerance reduce the need for
machining. The process overall is quite cost
effective due to reduced machining and cleanup
costs. The materials that can be used with this
process are cast irons, and aluminum and copper
alloys.
Molding Sand in Shell Molding Process
The molding sand is a mixture of fine grained quartz sand and powdered bakelite. There are two methods of coating
the sand grains with bakelite. First method is Cold coating method and another one is the hot method of coating.
In the method of cold coating, quartz sand is poured into the mixer and then the solution of powdered bakelite in
acetone and ethyl aldehyde are added. The typical mixture is 92% quartz sand, 5% bakelite, 3% ethyl aldehyde.
During mixing of the ingredients, the resin envelops the sand grains and the solvent evaporates, leaving a thin film
that uniformly coats the surface of sand grains, thereby imparting fluidity to the sand mixtures.
In the method of hot coating, the mixture is heated to 150-180 o C prior to loading the sand. In the course of sand
mixing, the soluble phenol formaldehyde resin is added. The mixer is allowed to cool up to 80 90 o C. This method
gives better properties to the mixtures than cold method.
Sodium Silicate Molding Process
In this process, the refractory material is coated with a sodium silicate-based binder. For molds, the sand mixture can
be compacted manually, jolted or squeezed around the pattern in the flask. After compaction, CO 2 gas is passed
through the core or mold. The CO 2 chemically reacts with the sodium silicate to cure, or harden, the binder. This
cured binder then holds the refractory in place around the pattern. After curing, the pattern is withdrawn from the

mold.
The sodium silicate process is one of the most environmentally acceptable of the chemical processes available. The
major disadvantage of the process is that the binder is very hygroscopic and readily absorbs water, which causes a
porosity in the castings.. Also, because the binder creates such a hard, rigid mold wall, shakeout and collapsibility
characteristics can slow down production. Some of the advantages of the process are:

A hard, rigid core and mold are typical of the process, which gives the casting good dimensional tolerances;
good casting surface finishes are readily obtainable;

Permanent Mold Process


In al the above processes, a mold need to be prepared for each of the casting produced. For large-scale production,
making a mold, for every casting to be produced, may be difficult and expensive. Therefore, a permanent mold, called
the die may be made from which a large number of castings can be produced. , the molds are usually made of cast
iron or steel, although graphite, copper and aluminum have been used as mold materials. The process in which we
use a die to make the castings is called permanent mold casting or gravity die casting, since the metal enters the
mold under gravity. Some time in die-casting we inject the molten metal with a high pressure. When we apply
pressure in injecting the metal it is called pressure die casting process.
Advantages

Permanent Molding produces a sound dense casting with superior mechanical properties.
The castings produced are quite uniform in shape have a higher degree of dimensional accuracy than
castings produced in sand
The permanent mold process is also capable of producing a consistent quality of finish on castings

Disadvantages

The cost of tooling is usually higher than for sand castings


The process is generally limited to the production of small castings of simple exterior design, although
complex castings such as aluminum engine blocks and heads are now commonplace.

Centrifugal Casting
In this process, the mold is rotated rapidly about its central axis as the metal is poured into it. Because of the
centrifugal force, a continuous pressure will be acting on the metal as it solidifies. The slag, oxides and other
inclusions being lighter, get separated from the metal and segregate towards the center. This process is normally
used for the making of hollow pipes, tubes, hollow bushes, etc., which are axisymmetric with a concentric hole. Since
the metal is always pushed outward because of the centrifugal force, no core needs to be used for making the
concentric hole. The mold can be rotated about a vertical, horizontal or an inclined axis or about its horizontal and
vertical axes simultaneously. The length and outside diameter are fixed by the mold cavity dimensions while the
inside diameter is determined by the amount of molten metal poured into the mold.Figure 9(Vertical Centrifugal
Casting), Figure 10 ( Horizontal Centrifugal Casting)
Figure 9: (Vertical Centrifugal Casting)
Figure 10: (Horizontal Centrifugal Casting)
Advantages

Formation of hollow interiors in cylinders without cores


Less material required for gate
Fine grained structure at the outer surface of the casting free of gas and shrinkage cavities and porosity

Disadvantages

More segregation of alloy component during pouring under the forces of rotation
Contamination of internal surface of castings with non-metallic inclusions
Inaccurate internal diameter
