Sand Casting Defects

8 6 月, 2017

  • Production of castings involves a large number of steps including casting design, pattern making, moulding, melting, pouring, shake out, fettling, inspection and finishing.
    • It is not uncommon for one or more of these steps to be performed unsatisfactorily due to use of defective material or equipment, carelessness of the operator or lack of skill.
    • Such unsatisfactory operations result in a defective casting which may be rejected at the final stage.
    • Since reclamation of defective castings is often costly and sometimes outright impossible, care should be taken to avoid the occurrence of the defects in the first instance.
    • It is therefore necessary to understand the various defects that occur in sand castings and the main factors that are responsible for their occurrence.
    • Some of the common defects are described below.
    1. Open Blows and Blow Holes
