Shell Moulding foundry
Die casting foundry (using permanent metal or dies for high volume of low and pressure die)
Pattern:
A pattern is normally a wooden/ metal model or thermosetting plastic which is facsimile of the cast product
to be made, there are many types of pattern and are either one piece, two piece or three piece, split pattern,
loose piece pattern, Gated and match plate pattern etc. Pattern size: Actual casting size + shrinkage allowance
+ shake allowance + finish allowance
1. Shrinkage allowance: The liquid metal shrinks during solidification and it contraction to its room
temperature, so that the pattern must be made larger than the casting to provide for total contraction.
2. Finishing allowance: The casting is to be machined at some points then the casting should be provided
with excess metal for machining.

Nomenclature of a Mould
A model of a Mould used in sand casting is shown in Figure 20.2. Moulding material—material that is packed
around the pattern to provide the Mould cavity is green sand. The various parts of Mould can be defined as
below:
Flask: It is a rigid box opens at top and bottom that holds the complete Mould. Flask may be divided into
three parts—the upper, middle, and lower; these three parts are known as cope, cheek, and drag, respectively.
Core: A sand or metal shape that is inserted into the mould to create internal hole or recess.
Mould Cavity: It is a cavity of casting shape in the mould connected to runner and riser. It is used to pour the
molten metal in which metal solidifies and gets the shape of the cavity.
Riser: An additional opening in the mould that provides additional metal to compensate for shrinkage and
also helps to remove gas or vapor formed during pouring the molten metal into the cavity.
Gating System: It is a network of channels that delivers the molten metal to the mould cavity.
Pouring Cup/Basin: It is located at the top surface of the mould and connected to an upper part of down sprue.
It prevents the splitting of molten metal.
Down sprue: It is a vertical portion of the gating system. It facilitates the streamline flow of molten metal.
Runners: It is a horizontal channel which connects the down sprue and gates.
Gate: It controls the amount of flow of molten metal at the entrance of cavity.
Parting Line: It is dividing a line of Cope and drag.

Foundry or casting is a process of forming metallic products by melting the metal and pouring into a cavity
known as the mould, and allowing it to solidify. When it is removed from the mould it will be of the same
shape as the mould. Almost any article can be cast with proper technic and design and there is practically no
limit as to the size and shape of the casting that may be made.
Foundry tools and mouldes uses are fairly numerous. A brief description of the most important tools is given
here.
Shovel: Shovel is used for mixing and tempering moulding sand and for moving the sand from the pile to the
flask.
Riddle: A riddle is a wire mesh fitted into a wooden or metal frame. It is used for screening the moulding
sand and to scatter the fine moulding sand over the pattern.
Rammers: Rammers are used for packing the sand around the pattern in a flask. The rammer is generally
made of hard wood or metal with one end flat and another peen(wedge). Peen rammer is used for pressing the
sand.
Trowel: These are used for cleaning, smoothing and patching the flat surface of the mould. The blade is made
with steel fitted with a wooden handle. These are made in different forms and sizes to suit the particular job.
Lifter: These are usually made of mild steel. It is used for removing the sand particles from the mould. It may
also be used to repair the mould.
Strike off bar: It is made either from wood or metal with straight edge. This is used to cutting of extra sand
after ramming and bringing it level with the moulding box.
Bellow: Bellows are used to blow excess parting sand from the pattern and also to blow loose sand particles
from the mould.
Bulb swab: This is the soft brush used for moisturizing the sand around the pattern. This strengthens the
sand and prevents the edge from breaking when the pattern is removed.
Gate cutter: It is a piece of sheet metal bent in the form of a u shape as given in the figure and is used to cut
the gate.
Mallet: A rawhide mallet is used to loosen the pattern in the mould so that it can be withdrawn without damage
to the mould.
Vent wire: It is a steel wire or rod with sharp pointed end. It is used to make a series of small holes in the
sand mould. This permits the gases to escape while the molten metal is being poured.
Draw spike (screw): Draw spike are used to lift the pattern from the sand mould. Two types of draw spike
are shown in the figure. Draw pin is inserted into a wooden pattern while thread end of draw spike screws
into a wooden pattern draw plate fastened to the large wooden plate or tapped hole of metal pattern.
ii. Place the drag around the pattern with upside and sprinkle the parting sand at the bottom.
iii. Fill the Moulding sand over the pattern pack, Ram, Jolt &squeeze.
iv. Level the bottom drag surface by leveler& turn over the drag.
v. Sprinkle the parting sand, place the cope on the drag to suit the drag slot.
vi. Select the in and out gate in the drag, Place the sprue pins.
vii. Fill the moulding sand around the sprue pins pack, Ram, Jolt and Squeeze & level the surface.
viii. Make vent holes on both the boxes with the help of vent wire.
ix. Remove the sprue pin & Separate cope from drag.
x. Remove the pattern carefully with the help of draw pin, cut gate ways to flow the molten metal.
xi. From the funnel shape on runner & riser, Hole to pour the molten metal on the top of the cope box.
xii. Join the two boxes with clamps, Now the mould is ready to pour the molten metal.

In this chapter the material cost means the direct material cost. The frequently used
materials are: Aluminum, Copper, Gunmetal, Brass, Iron, Tin, Magnesium, Mild steel, Alloy steel
& Lead etc.
The generalized procedure to calculate the Material Cost:
1. Observe the component drawings, break up the drawing into simple parts as per convenience.
2. Using formulae calculate area & Volume of each part. Scrap should be taken into Account while
calculating the volume.
3. Add the Volume of all the parts.
4. Multiply the component volume & density of material. It will be weight of the component. Density
X Volume =Weight.
5. Multiply the weight of the component with the cost of material per unit weight.
UNIT – 2 FORGING
Anvil: It is used as a mount for pairs of tools between which the work is forged by hammer blows. The main
body of the anvil is made of mild steel with a hardened top face welded on. The beak is soft and with an
increasing diameter of cross section. Beak is useful for producing bends of different radii. The ledge between
the beak and the anvil face is soft and can be used as a base for cutting operation with hot chisels.
Chisel: It is fitted with a long handle. The chisel is held on the work and struck with a hammer.
Cold chisel: It is used for cutting cold metal.
Hot chisel: It is used for cutting hot metal.
Fullers: These are blunt nosed chisels and are used to reduce the thickness of hot metal. They may be held
with hand or fitted with a rod handle. Bottom fullers may be inserted in the square hole of the anvil. For
occasional use, fullers can be improvised from round mild steel bar.
Swages: These are used in pairs to shape hot metal. They are supplied in pairs, top and bottom
Tongs: These are used to hold hot metal pieces. Various shapes of blacksmith’s tongs are available
Flatter: This is used to flatten and smooth the metal. It is used under a sledge hammer to flatten and smoothen
the metal, particularly after its thickness has been reduced using fullers.
Procedure:
1) Calculate the final length of the model to be forged of the given round rod of 12mmdiameter.
2) Place the given round rod in the Hearth furnace in suitable place.
3) Switch on the blower and set the temperature range up to 900-10000C in control panel.
5) Place the heated job in between open-faced Bottom & Top Die, which is set on Anvil.
6) Draw down the heated work piece to calculated length with the help of hammer, tong &flatter.
7) The process is carried approximately until the circular rod is transformed into desired shape and with desired
dimensions.
10) With the help of flatter, open faced dies finish the work piece to the final dimension and surface finish,
