Diferent Parts of Sand Mold- Features

Cope and drag in Sand Mold : Cope and Drag are the two parts of the casting flask. Cope is the upper part and drag is the lower part. Even if the casting process is flaskless , the same terms are used for the upper ans lower parts. Generally the flask is made of wood or metal. It contains molding sand. When metal is poured into the mold cavity the flask supports the mold. Gating system:

Lost Wax or Investment Casting Method Steps

Investment or lost-wax castings: The Lost-wax method, sometimes, also called simply as precision-investment casting has been used for many years by jewelers and dentists. Since world-war-II, the method has been adapted to the production of small and precise, industrial fasting. Basically, the method involves the use of expendable (heat disposable) pattern unrounded with a shell of refractory

WiFiRGB - A WiFi-enabled RGB high-power LED

Features Simple hardware, using pre-fabricated modules Controls an RGB LED via any recent browser, any operating system WiFi credentials can be configured via browser Software is written as an Arduino sketch Introduction Some time ago I read about the cheap and easy to use ESP8266 WiFi modules and I had to have a couple of them. So I ordered two ESP-01 modules. At the time I had no idea

Die Casting Principles

Die casting process is very different from sand casting as the mould used here is permanent. The mould is not expandable and need not to be broken after the cooling and solidification. Here the mould is called the die. Please Read : Comparison of different casting process A complete Guide to casting process Gravity die casting: When the molten is metal is poured under a gravity

Sand Casting Process with Diagram

Sand casting: In sand casting which is also known as sand molded casting, an object is produced by sand mold. The process involves pouring of the molten metal in to the mold cavity. The molten metal is then cooled to the room temperature. The metal is solidified. After cooling, the metal object is separated from the mold. Sand casting process has its advantages and disadvantages. So care

A Complete Guide to Steps Involved in Casting Process

We know that casting is the process of pouring molten metal in a desired shaped cavity and allowing it to solidify. After the solidification we get the desired shaped object. Please read : Comparison of different casting processes. What is casting ? Main application of castings Basic Steps of Sand casting Basic Operation of the casting process First we have to make a pattern Then the

Different Types of Pattern Allowances in Casting

Pattern allowances: There are some allowances which are responsible for the difference in the dimensions of the casting and the pattern. These allowances are considered when a pattern is designed for casting. In this article we will discuss those allowances - 1. Shrinkage allowance: After solidification of the metal from further cooling (room

What is Brazing-Principles

Discovering Brazing (Braze Welding) Brazing is a gas welding process in which you join metals by using heat that surpasses the 800 degree Fahrenheit mark and a nonferrous (iron-free) filler rod with a melting temperature below that of the base materials. The most important point about brazing is that you can use it to join dissimilar metals — cast iron to steel, brass to steel, or copper to
