Sand casting is the mainly used way of producing cast iron table bases

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Cast iron is one of the common & mostly used materials for making table bases. Due to its abundant availability, simplicity and low cost, it became a viable and easy choice for all. May be it can be the reason why it is commonly used.

Sand casting is the mainly used way of producing cast iron table bases. It is the most primitive and simple way of making cast iron products. In a cast iron foundry, all you need to have is an oven to melt down the iron ingots, molding of the products and a fresh sand field. The making method is also very simple. When the iron is melt down to liquid, pour that into the pre-molded sand box, wait until it is cool down, break those sand boxes and clean them well. Afterward paint them in colors and pack them into boxes. Now it is ready for the market.

Most of the table bases made by cast iron are very heavy and strong, so, it is used mainly for strength and stability of the table. Therefore, most of the cafe and restaurants use such bases for this very reason.

We might also notice that all the sand casting bases are painted in black. The reason for that is mainly to disguise the roughness of the surface made by sand casting. Due to modern method and equipment, good quality can be achieved. Nevertheless, black is still the very much preferred and used paint for such items.

With the existing new method, bigger and decorative products are possible these days. The quality standard and designs also have improved a lot recently. We are spoiled with choices today, but the main reason for having a cast iron table base is still the same as it was 30 years ago! It has always been and will be for the strength and stability!

Sand casting is utilized to make large components of iron, Bronze, Brass and Aluminum

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Sand casting is utilized to make large components of iron, Bronze, Brass and Aluminum. Melted metal is poured into a mould cavity made out of sand.

Patterns:

The cavity in the sand is made by utilizing a pattern (a rough duplicate of original) which are generally made of wood and rarely of metal. The cavity is contained in an aggregate housed in a box called the flask. Core is a sand shape put into the mould to produce the inner features of the component like holes or internal passages. Core is put in cavity to form holes of the desired shapes. Core print is the portion added to pattern core or mould which is utilized to find and support the core within the mould. A riser is an extra cavity made in mould to hold excess molten material. The reason of this is to feed the molten metal to the mould cavity and as metal solidifies and shrinks and therefore, prevents holes in the main casting.  Steel Casting

In a two part mould, the upper half is called cope and the lower half is called drag. The parting line separates cope and drag. The drag is filled with sand in part and the core print, the cores and the gating process are put close to the parting line. The cope is then joined to drag and sand is poured covering the pattern, core and the gating system. The sand is made compact by vibration and mechanical method. After that the cope is separated from drag and the pattern is removed carefully. The purpose is to remove the pattern without breaking the mould cavity. This is facilitated by designing a draft, a slight angular offset from the vertical to vertical surface of the pattern. This is generally of 1° or 1.5 mm (0.060 in) whichever is more. The rougher the surface of design, the more the draft to be given.  Aluminum Sand Casting

About die casting

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Die casting is an efficient, economical process offering a broader range of shapes and components than any other manufacturing technique. Parts have long service life and may be designed to complement the visual appeal of the surrounding part. Designers can gain a number of advantages and benefits by specifying Die cast parts.

High-speed production - Die casting provides complex shapes within closer tolerances than many other mass production processes. Little or no machining is required and thousands of identical castings can be produced before additional tooling is required. Iron casting

Dimensional accuracy and stability - Die casting produces parts that are durable and dimensionally stable, while maintaining close tolerances. They are also heat resistant.

Strength and weight - Die casting parts are stronger than plastic injection moldings having the same dimensions. Thin wall castings are stronger and lighter than those possible with other casting methods. Plus, because Die casting do not consist of separate parts welded or fastened together, the strength is that of the alloy rather than the joining process.

Die casting is the method used for forcing molten metal into mold cavities under high pressure. Die casting is very versatile and hence, is the widest used method for casting a metal. Die casting is same as permanent mold casting the only difference is that the metal is injected into the mould at very high pressure of 10-210 Mpa. This results in a more uniform part, usually good dimensional accuracy and also good surface finish.

Stainless Steel Casting

Stainless steel castings are usually classified as either corrosion-resistant castings or heat-resistant. The usual distinction between heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant cast steels is based on carbon content.

Carbon Steel Casting

Carbon steel castings are produced to a great variety of properties because composition and heat treatment can be selected to achieve specific combinations of properties, including hardness, strength, ductility, fatigue resistance, and toughness. Although selections can be made from a wide range of properties, it is important to recognize the interrelationships among these properties. die casting    iron casting
