It should be of benefit to industrial arts teachers, supervisors, counselors, and administrators. These operational guidelines will help local administrators, teacher educators, and industrial arts teachers to determine the extent to which their programs are meeting the needs of our youth. Industrial Arts Education Programs must be organized to meet the needs cf all students. A constant concern of educator: is the construction and revision of curriculum. Industry and technology are the core of industrial arts instruction. Both are constantly changing; therefore, curriculum and instruction must change in order to provide students a realistic and accurate understanding of industry and its function in our complex technological society. 4 /1 .7141" THOMAS G.

  • Actions Aimed at Increasing the Beneficial Use of Foundry Sand
    Draft 9/17/09 ACTIONS AIMED AT INCREASING THE BENEFICIAL USE OF FOUNDRY SAND A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER ACTION PLAN September, 2009 Draft 9/17/09 September, 2009 Over the past year, a core planning group has worked in consultation with a broad group of stakeholders, to consider various actions for increasing the beneficial use of foundry sand. This process has produced a Multi-Stakeholder Action Plan (MAP) which identifies key challenges to increased beneficial use, and a comprehensive set of actions aimed at increasing the beneficial use, of foundry sands. These actions will a) document the economic and environmental case for beneficial use, b) foster sustainable markets linking sand generators with end users, c) address regulatory processes, and d) establish a coordinated framework to oversee implementation and measure progress. The planning process also generated a set of Initial Priority Actions that various key parties are undertaking over the next few years. These actions will address many of the challenges identified in the MAP and lay the groundwork for implementation of additional MAP actions. Currently, the foundry industry estimates that about 28% of sands are directed to beneficial use. The industry’s national trade association—the American Foundry Society—has set a goal of 50% beneficial use by 2015. During the development of the MAP, the stakeholders listed below expressed support for this goal and committed to work together towards achieving it through implementation of the Initial Priority Actions.

  • The One-Shot Casting Process What Is One-Shot Casting?
    The One-Shot Casting Process What is One-Shot Casting? Plaster mold casting is a method of producing aluminum, zinc or magnesium castings by pouring liquid metal into plaster (gypsum) molds. At Armstrong Mold, there are two methods of plaster mold casting: 1) Rubber Plaster Molding (RPM): Patterns create foundry tooling that makes copes, drags and core boxes used to create the plaster molds. 2) One-Shot Casting: Plaster is poured directly on patterns, which are melted out in a furnace cycle. Following is the process for the One-Shot method of making plaster mold castings. Step 1: Model/Pattern 1) Constructed from customer drawing or CAD file. 2) Laser-sintered patterns are produced. 3) Model is engineered to include: A) Metal shrinkage. B) Mold taper (if required) C) Machine stock (if required). 4) We can "clone" or adapt customer-supplied model if requested. Step 2: Plaster Mold 1) A liquid plaster slurry is poured around the pattern. 2) The plaster mold is heated in a furnace to melt out the pattern and cure plaster. Step 3: Pour Casting 1) Molten metal is prepared by degassing, and a spectrographic sample is taken to check the chemical analysis. 2) The molten metal is then poured into the plaster mold. 3) The plaster is removed by mechanical knock-out and high pressure waterjet. 4) When the casting has cooled, the gates and risers are then removed. Step 4: Secondary Operations 1) The raw castings are inspected and serialized. 2) Castings may then require (per customer specifications): A) Heat treatment B) X-Ray C) Penetrant inspection 3) After finish inspection, casting is ready for: A) Machining B) Chemical film, chromate conversion, paint special finishes D) Assembly E) Form-in-place gasketing.

  • Metal Casting and Solidification
    METAL CASTING AND SOLIDIFICATION Monil Salot SYLLABUS Moulding materials: Properties, preparation & testing: Functional requirements of moulding materials, moulding practice & special requirements of core sands, foundry sands & binders, sand preparation & systems, silica programme. MOLDING MATERIAL AND PROPERTIES: A large variety of molding materials is used in foundries for manufacturing molds and cores. They include molding sand, system sand or backing sand, facing sand, parting sand, and core sand. The choice of molding materials is based on their processing properties. The properties that are generally required in molding materials are: 1. REFRACTORINESS: It is the ability of the molding material to with stand high temperatures (experienced during pouring) with out 1. Fusion, 2. Cracking, buckling or scabbing, 3. Experiencing any major physical change. Silica sand has a high refractoriness. 2. PERMEABILITY: During pouring and subsequent solidification of a casting, a large amount of gases and steam is generated. These gases are those that have been absorbed by the metal during melting, air absorbed from the atmosphere and the steam generated by the molding and core sand. If these gases are not allowed to escape from the mold, they would be entrapped inside the casting and cause casting defects. To overcome this problem the molding material must be porous. Proper venting of the mold also helps in escaping the gases that are generated inside the mold cavity. 3. GREEN STRENGTH: The molding sand that contains moisture is termed as green sand. The green sand particles must have the ability to cling to each other to impart sufficient strength to the mold. The green sand must have enough strength so that the constructed mold retains its shape.

  • Casting Processes
    2.4_3 Casting Processes • pouring a liquid material (molten metal) into a prepared mold • materials: iron steel aluminum brass bronze magnesium certain zinc alloys • iron is used most often - fluidity, low shrinkage, strength, rigidity, and ease of control Chap 2, Casting – p. 1 • Six factors of the casting process: 1) A mold cavity must be produced. - must have desired shape - must allow for shrinkage of the solidifying metal - a new mold must be made for each casting, or a permanent mold must be made 2) A suitable means must exist to melt the metal. - high temperatures - quality mix - low cost 3) The molten metal must be introduced into the mold so that all air or gases in the mold will escape. The mold must be completely filled so that there are no air holes. 4) The mold must be designed so that it does not impede the shrinkage of the metal upon cooling. 5) It must be possible to remove the casting from the mold. 6) Finishing operations must usually be performed on the part after it is removed from the mold. Chap 2, Casting – p. 2 Seven major casting processes: 1) Sand casting 5) Centrifugal casting 2) Shell-mold casting 6) Plaster-mold casting 3) Permanent-mold casting 7) Investment casting 4) Die casting Sand Casting • sand is used as the mold material • the sand (mixed with other materials) is packed around a pattern that has the shape of the desired part • the mold is made of two parts (drag (bottom) & cope (top)) • a new mold must be made for every part • liquid metal is poured into the mold through a sprue hole • the sprue hole is connected to the cavity by runners • a gate connects the runner with the mold cavity • risers are used to provide "overfill" Chap 2, Casting – p.
