Project @ a Glance

Contents on the CD Rom

  • A foundry is a factory which produces metal castings from either ferrous or non-ferrous alloys.
  • Metals are turned into parts by melting the metal into a liquid, pouring the metal in a mold, and then removing the mold material or casting.
  • The people who work in the foundry making molds and pouring castings traditionally worked moving sand extensively, and thus were affectionately called sandrats.
  • Iron and steel parts are typically formed by the sand casting method; aluminum and other non-ferrous metals are typically formed by the die cast method.
    Sand casting utilizes a pattern molded from a mixture of sand, clay, and binder often called "green sands" and Die casting is often used to mold smaller metal parts such as transmission or compressor casings.
  • A general process at a green sand foundry shows two main streams: one for metal and another for sand. Metal goes from stockyard, through melting, holding and pouring. Sand goes through green sand preparation, core manufacture up to moulding lines. There metal and sand get together when molten metal is poured and allowed to solidify and cool, in order to shape it as a casting.
  • The fly ash could be utilized as a replacement and filler in foundry sands used for molds and core production. The fly ash was more suitable than ferrous applications due to the high pouring temperature. All types of ash were suitable for molds and core making for many non ferrous metals such as, Cu-, Al- and Zn- based alloys.
  • Phenol is used to produce Phenol formaldehyde condensation resins, which are used in many different applications, such as: Plywood, particle board and insulation materials for the construction industry, Moulds in the foundry industry, Adhesives, Furniture manufacturing.
  • Foundry sand is high quality silica sand that is a byproduct from the production of both ferrous and nonferrous metal castings.
  • Metal foundries use large amounts of sand as part of the metal casting process. Foundries successfully recycle and reuse the sand many times in a foundry. When the sand can no longer be reused in the foundry, it is removed from the foundry and is termed “foundry sand.”
  • Manufacturing techniques have been developed over several decades that allow control over the macro & microstructure of the materials to produce several important material effects. Three forming techniques dominate – ribforming, rollerforming and isopressing. Each gives different structural features in a crucible.
  •  Rib and rollerforming techniques impart shearing effects on the material which orient the graphite along a designated direction.
  • The largest volume of foundry sand is used in geotechnical applications, such as embankments, site development fills and road bases.
  • The 3,000 foundries in the United States generate 6 million to 10 million tons of foundry sand per year.
  • Currently, approximately 500,000 to 700,000 tons of foundry sand are used annually in engineering applications.
  • India’s ability to produce almost any type of casting at any quality level, at a competitive price, together with its annual capacity of 7.5 million metric tons, makes it a world leading outsourcing destination for casting products.
