14. FOUNDRY
Casting process is used to make the main body parts of CNC
machine like CNC bed, tail stroke, turn-table, saddle, etc.
Basic process for casting is described below :
Sand Mixing
• First of all, It all starts with the
preparation of sand. They use
85% of recycled sand and 15%
of fresh sand.
• it is prepared by mixing of
special kind of additives viz. Resin
and Catalyst at particular
temperature.
• Special OMEGA company
automatic sand mixer is used in
Jyoti for sand preparation.
15. Mould Making
• A sand mold is formed by packing sand into each half of
the mold. The sand is packed around the pattern, which is a
replica of the external shape of the casting.
• When the pattern is removed, the cavity that will form the
casting remains.
• Any internal features of the casting that cannot be formed by
the pattern are formed by separate cores which are made of
sand prior to the formation of the mold.
• It takes 45 minutes to get completely mixed and set over the
pattern. In a mould box a pattern is kept over which the
prepared sand is filled up.
• Now that box is carried to the roll over machine
manufactured by OMEGA manufacturers.
• This machine turns the mould box upside down and separates
the mould with the pattern.
16. • After separation, mould is further carried away to the
painting or coating machine and the separated pattern
returns to be used again for the preparation of similar
kinds of moulds.
• A roller is provided which takes mould from roll over to
the coating machine.
• Coating is carried out either by machine or manually. If
the portion to be coated is less, it is okay to go with
the manual coating and if the portion to be coated is
more, one has to go for machine coating.
• This water based graphite coating helps in easy
separation after the molten metal is being poured.
• The next thing comes to the path is drying of the
mould for which it is kept in the oven.
• After drying upper and lower part is being assembled
which is known as cope and drag assesmbly.
18. Clamping
Once the mold has been made, it must be prepared for the
molten metal to be poured.
• The surface of the mold cavity is first lubricated to facilitate
the removal of the casting.
• Then, the cores are positioned and the mold halves are
closed and securely clamped together.
• It is essential that the mold halves remain securely closed
to prevent the loss of any material.
19. Melting of Metal
• Induction furnace is used to melt the
metal.
• Pig Iron, steel scrap, runners and
risers are used as a row material for
melting.
• Generally the temperature of molten
metal goes upto 1430̊C.
• Jyoti has two 3 tons capacity
induction melting furnace and one 10
tons capacity induction furnace for
holding the molten metal.
• According to % ratios of carbon,
silicon and magnesium pig iron, steel
scrap is used in melting.
• Special additives are also used to
achieve particular property.
Dust collector is placed above the
20. Pouring
• The molten metal is maintained at a
set temperature in a furnace.
• After the mold has been clamped, the
molten metal can be ladled from its
holding container in the furnace and
poured into the mold.
• The pouring can be performed manually
or by an automated machine.
• Enough molten metal must be poured
to fill the entire cavity and all channels
in the mold.
• The filling time is very short in order
to prevent early solidification of any one
part of the metal.
• Inoculate is added at the time of
pouring.
21. Cooling
• The molten metal that is poured into the mold will begin to
cool and solidify once it enters the cavity.
• When the entire cavity is filled and the molten metal
solidifies, the final shape of the casting is formed.
• It is allowed 24-48 hours of cooling.
• The mold can not be opened until the cooling time has
elapsed. The desired cooling time can be estimated based
upon the wall thickness of the casting and the temperature
of the metal.
• Most of the possible defects that can occur are a result of
the solidification process. If some of the molten metal cools
too quickly, the part may exhibit shrinkage, cracks, or
incomplete sections.
22. Removal of casting
• After the predetermined solidification
time has passed, the sand mold can
simply be broken, and the casting
removed.
• This step, sometimes called shakeout,
is typically performed by a vibrating
machine that shakes the sand and
casting out of the flask.
• Then runner and risers are removed
by hammering.
• In Jyoti, there is a dust collector
above knock off machine.
23. Fettling
• After removal of casting it goes into shoot blasting
chamber, in which steel balls of very small diameter
is imparted on the casting.
• Shot blasting removes the any remaining sand,
especially from internal surfaces, and reduce
the surface roughness.
• In Jyoti, there are 2 shoot blasting furnace, one is
automatic and one is manual.
24.
25. Grinding and Trimming
• During cooling, the material from the channels in
the mold solidifies attached to the part.
• This excess material must be trimmed from the
casting either manually via cutting or sawing, or
using a grinding and trimming process.
• The time required to trim the excess material can
be estimated from the size of the casting's
envelope. A larger casting will require a longer
grinding and trimming time.
• The scrap material that results from this trimming is
either discarded or reused in the sand casting
process. However, the scrap material may need to
be reconditioned to the proper chemical composition
before it can be combined with non-recycled metal
and reused.
26. Heat treatment process
• Heat treatment process is used to
increase hardness of casting or
for stress relieving.
• In this process, casting is heated
at particular temperature for
particular time and then it is
cooled down.
• Temperature, time and cooling
rate decide the properties of
casting.
27. Pattern making
• Patterns are made up of many different materials as per
the requirements.
• In general wooden pattern is being used over here which
is cheap in coast as well as long lasting.
• For the complicated parts aluminium metal is being used.
• Thermocole is preferred if the pattern is going to be used
for only once.
