    The lost foam casting process originated in 1958 and uses a polystyrene foam pattern embedded in green sand to produce castings through a cavity-less method that is simpler and cheaper than other casting processes. It is suitable for complex castings that would normally require cores and produces dimensionally accurate castings with excellent surface finishes, though pattern costs can be high for low volume applications as patterns are easily damaged. Uncompleted castings can result from insufficient metal poured or gas entrapment during solidification, and pin holes and rough surfaces may occur, so ensuring proper pouring quantity and avoiding pattern damage are important to produce quality castings through this process.

    BDD 4063 Lost Foam Casting

    Introduction
    The Lost Foam casting process originated in 1958 when H.F. Shroyer was granted a patent for a cavity-less casting method. Using a polystyrene foam pattern embedded in traditional green sand. Simple and inexpensive than other casting.

    Pros & Cons


    Advantages Suitable complex castings that would regularly require cores. dimensionally accurate and maintains an excellent surface finish Disadvantages Pattern costs can be high for low volume applications. Patterns are easily damaged or distorted due to their low strength

    Work Procedure

    Work Procedure (cont)

    Observation

    Analysis
    Defect Uncompleted casting (Poured Short ) Cause insufficient quantity of metal poured and interruption during the pour. Produced by gas entrapped in the metal during solidification. Pattern been damaged or distorted

    Pin Holes Rough surface

    Conclusion and Recommendation


    The main point to produce the good product is the process and molds itself. should enough time to repeat the same experiment by fixing the defect cause and compared experiments
