ABSTRACT Casting is a liquidus for process, includes melting the metal, pouring it in a pre-shaped mould and allowing it to solidify. Sand casting process is a metal process in which natural sand, containing a proportion of clay to bind the grains of sand together and water, or a pure silica sand with an artificial binder added to it, is contained in a flask
(the name given to a pair of matching molding boxes) and compressed by hand, or mechanical ramming, around a pattern. In this project a sand molding arrangement was designed and produced to simulate the automatic sand molding machine.
* Casting is a liquidus for process, includes : melting the metal, pouring it in a pre-shaped mould and allowing it to solidify.
* Sand casting process is a metal casting process in which a natural sand , containing a proportion of clay and water to bind the grains of sand together.
When two flasks are parted, the pattern and the dowels forming the sprue system are removed, a negative mould shape is left in the sand. The molten metal is poured into this cavity.
It can be used to produce complex and huge shapes, such as cast-iron engine blocks and very large propellers for ocean liners. Sand casting can be economical for relatively small production runs, and equipments cost are generally low
1- The surface finish obtained is largely a function of the materials used in making the mold. 2- Dimensional accuracy is not so good as that of other casting processes.
The objective of automatic molding is to produce accurate parts able to withstand lifting and handling . • Molding Machine enables moulds to be produced at high rates . • The principal feature of molding machine is the use of power operated mechanisms for mould compaction; this mechanization can extend in varying degrees to pattern withdrawal and mould part manipulation
1- Eliminate labor cost. • 2-Offer high quality casting by improving the application and distribution of forces. • 3-Manipulate the mold in a carefully controlled fashion . • 4-Increase the rate of production
Sand molding process was a hand process. And it is developed to be an automatic process. • In this project a sand molding arrangement was designed and produced to simulate the automatic sand molding machine
We select pneumatic cylinder with bore D = 10 cm that is available Commercially and to be more efficient , while the stroke is taken L= 10 cm. l
