Sand Plant
This

is basically used to for

the automation of the sand
preparation for the casting
process.
Sand is collected in
knockout and moved to
elevator via drum conveyor
Sand is then moved to the
sieve seperating stone
from sand

This

sand is moved
via conveyor to the
hooper of where new
sand and old sand
are mixed.

Again

this sand is
moved to the
elevator and is piled
in moller where the
sand is mixed with
water and other
agent. This sand is
filled in cop and
drag.

Preparation of sand in Muller

Sand

that is Green
Sand required for
casting is prepared
ny mixing its
constituents in
muller m/c.
.Sand is mixed with
water, betonite
(binding agent) ,
coal dust
(demoisturiser) and
molases.

Moulding Material
Major

part of moulding material

in casting
1. 70-85% silica sand
2. 10-12% betonite
3. 3-6% water
4. Coal dust (demoisturiser)

Moulding
It isMachine
used to
create cavity in
the mould
Cavity is replica
of the core
.Cop and Drag
are placed
simultaneously
and mold
material is filled
from sand plant.

Melting of Metal
Induction

furnaces are
the most common type
used by both ferrous
and non-ferrous
foundries. Copper coils
heat the metal using
alternating currents.
The flux reacts with
impurities.Capacity
300kg &500kg
temperature= 14001500 degree. Flux is
added to remove slag
from molten metal

Pouring of Metal
After

melting of metal molten metal is

poured in the mould cavity which is
replica of core.
Before pouring provisions are made
for the escape of dissolved gases .
The gating system should be
besigned to minimize the turbulent
flow and erosion of mould cavity. The
other important factors are the
pouring temperature and pouring rate

Solidification and
Cooling
The

properties of the casting significantly

depends on the solidification time cooling
rate.
Shrinkage of casting, during cooling of
solidified metal should be restrained by
the mould material, otherwise internal
stresses may develop and form cracks in
casting.
Proper care should be taken at the design
stage of casting so that the shrinkage can
occur without casting defect.

Shot Blasting
Process
After cooling and
solidification
shot blasting is
done in order to
remove extra
material from
the cast
product.
Abrasive shot or
sheet shots are
used to remove
material

Grinding Process
As

shot blasting is done cast

products are checked thoroughly
for the extra material . Grinding
is carried out to remove that
extra material.

Inspection
Visual

Inspection- Cast product is

visually inspected for the cracks and
deforms etc.
Sound test - This is a rough test to
indicate a flaw or discontinuity in a
casting. The casting is suspended from a
suitable support free of all obstructions
and tapped at various places on its
surface with a small hammer. Any
change in the tone produced indicates
the existence of a flaw.

Some other methods

MPT

(Magnetic Particle test )

Penetrant test
Ultrasonic testing
Radiongraphy testing etc..
