Recommendation Casting

To improve metal casting quality, automatic machines should pour molten metal slowly to prevent pouring defects, sprues should be thicker than mold sections to reduce shrinkage, green sand must be stored in closed containers to prevent blow holes from moisture or dust, pouring temperature and rate should be optimized to avoid cold metal or incomplete filling, and bentonite content in sand should be increased to limit sand inclusions.

RECOMMENDATION

There are some improvement that can be made to produce a good


quality of metal casting product and those are:

a) Reduce pouring defect


Automatic machine can be used to pour the molten metal into the mold at
desired rate of speed to ensure the molten metal will freeze gradually and produce a
better quality product

b) Reduce shrinkage defect


A sprue included should be thicker than the section of the mold it is connected so
that it can supply the extra metal for the casting

c) Reduce blow hole defect


The green sand used should be stored in closed container so that it can keep the
moisture of the sand and the sand is not exposed to inert dust which will prevent any
trapped gases during the process of metal casting
d) Reduce metallurgical defect
Pouring should be done at a minimum temperature consistent with avoiding cold
metal defects and maintain high fill rate

e) Reduce sand inclusion defect


Increase the bentonite content of the sand by using a bentonite with a higher
specific binding capacity
