Composite molds
Sand casting
Sand casting consists of the following steps:
a. Placing a pattern.
b. Incorporating a gating system.
c. Filling the resulting cavity with molten metal.
d. Allowing the metal to cool until solidify.
e. Breaking a way the sand mold.
f. Removing the casting.
The sands have fine round grains closely packed and form
a smooth mold surface mold strength, but it has low
permeability.
The mold should have good collapsibility to allow for casting to shrink
while cooling avoiding defects in the casting (hot tearing cracking).

1. The mold consists of two pieces, cope on the top and drag on the
bottom.
2. Pouring basin or pouring cup, into which molten metal is
poured.
3. Sprue, through which the molten metal flows downward.
4. Runner system, which has channels that carry the molten metal
from the sprue to the mold cavity.
5. Riser, which supply additional metal to the casting as it shrinks
during solidification.
