Die Casting - Cold-Chamber Casting Cycle in cold-chamber casting: (1) with die closed and ram withdrawn, molten metal is poured into the chamber; (2) ram forces metal to flow into die, maintaining pressure during the cooling and solidification; and (3) ram is withdrawn, die is opened, and part is ejected.

Die Casting Process: Definition, Components, Types, Working Principle, Advantages, Disadvantages, and Applications [PDF] Die Casting Process is different from the Sand casting process with respect to the mold only. In Sand Casting Process, the Mould is made up of Sand whereas, in this process, the mold is made up of Metal. Gravity die casting is a type of permanent casting in which the molten metal is poured into the die with the ladle. While filling the mold with the melted metal no force will act other than gravity force. The material that has high fluidity is made by gravity die casting. Merits: The surface finish of the material produced is high. • Riser must be separated from the casting upon completion so the connection area must be as small as possible Figure 11-13 Schematic of a sand casting mold, showing a) an open-type top riser and b) a blind-type side riser. The side riser is a live riser, receiving the last hot metal to enter the mold. Over 70% of all metal castings are produced via a sand casting process. The six steps in this process are: (i) Place a pattern in sand to create a mold. (ii) Incorporate the pattern and sand in a gating system. (iii) Remove the pattern. (iv) Fill the mold cavity with molten metal. •1642 A.D. -First American iron casting at Saugus Iron Works, Lynn, MA •1818 A.D. -First cast steel made in U.S. using crucible process •1919 A.D. -First electric arc furnace used in the U.S. •Early 1970's -Semi-solid metalworking process developed at MIT •1996 -Cast metal matrix composites first used in Casting3 Flask A moulding flask is one which holds the sand mould intact. Depending on the position of the flask in the mould structure, it is referred to as drag, cope and cheek. It is generally made up of wood for temporary use or of metal for long term use. Drag Lower moulding flask. Cope Upper moulding flask. There are generally three common types of centrifugal casting process: true centrifugal casting process, semi centrifugal casting process, and vertical centrifugal casting process. Semi centrifugal casting is used to larger parts that are symmetrical on the vertical axis. The centrifugal casting products includes flywheels and gear blanks etc. Rules for Type Conversion • When a value is converted to a higher data type, it is being promoted • When a value is converted to a lower data type, it is being demoted o Rule 1 : char, short, and unsigned short are CS150 Introduction to Computer Science 1 4 automatically promoted to int o Rule 2 : When an operator works with values of different types, the lower ranking value is promoted to We should concentrate on the following for successful casting operation: (i)Preparation of moulds of patterns (ii)Melting and pouring of the liquefied metal (iii)Solidification and further cooling to room temperature (iv)Defects and inspection R.Ganesh Narayanan, IITG Casting Patterns: Functions, Material, Types, Allowances [With PDF] A pattern is an essential tool for the Cast
