  2. Sand casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_casting

    Sand casting, also known as sand molded casting, is a metal casting process characterized by using sand—known as casting sand—as the mold material. The term "sand casting" can also refer to an object produced via the sand casting process. Sand castings are produced in specialized factories called foundries. In 2003, over 60% of all metal ...

  3. Molding sand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molding_sand

    Sand casting is one of the earliest forms of casting practiced due to the simplicity of materials involved. It still remains one of the cheapest ways to cast metal because of that same simplicity. Other methods of casting, such as those using shell molds, boast higher quality of surface finish but have a higher cost.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_(manufacturing)

    For example, a cold-box sand casting core binder is sodium silicate which hardens on exposure to carbon dioxide. [5] Special binders are used in air-set sands to produce core at room temperature. These sands do not require a gas catalyst because organic binders and a curing catalyst are mixed together in the sand which initiates the curing process.

  8. Pattern (casting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_(casting)

    In casting, a pattern is a replica of the object to be cast, used to form the sand mould cavity into which molten metal is poured during the casting process. Once the pattern has been used to form the sand mould cavity, the pattern is then removed, molten metal is then poured into the sand mould cavity to produce the casting.

  9. DISAMATIC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DISAMATIC

    A molding sand mixture, usually green sand or bentonite, is blown into a rectangular steel chamber using compressed air. The molding sand is then squeezed between two patterns, which are on the two ends of the chamber. After squeezing, one of the chamber plates swings open and the opposite plate pushes the finished mold onto a conveyor.
