Metal casting processes • Casting is one of the oldest manufacturing process. It is the first step in making most of the products. • Steps: - Making mould cavity - Material is first liquefied by properly heating it in a suitable furnace. - Liquid is poured into a prepared mould cavity - allowed to solidify - product is taken out of the mould cavity, trimmed and made to shape 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

Advantages • Molten material can flow into very small sections so that intricate shapes can be made by this process. As a result, many other operations, such as machining, forging, and welding, can be minimized. • Possible to cast practically any material: ferrous or non-ferrous. • The necessary tools required for casting moulds are very simple and inexpensive. As a result, for production of a small lot, it is the ideal process. • There are certain parts (like turbine blades) made from metals and alloys that can only be processed this way. Turbine blades: Fully casting + last machining. • Size and weight of the product is not a limitation for the casting process. R.Ganesh IITG processes – I, Pradeep Kumar et al.
