 CASTING
• Casting is
a manufacturing process in which
a liquid material is usually poured
into a mould

• which contains a hollow cavity of

the desired shape, and then
allowed to solidify.

• The solidified part is also known

as a casting
 MOULD
• A tool with one impression is often called a
single impression (cavity) mould. A mouldwith
two or more cavities of the same parts is
usually called a multiple impression
(cavity) mould.
 Basic process
• Place a pattern in sand to
create a mold.
• Incorporate the pattern and
sand in a gating system.
• Remove the pattern.
• Fill the mold cavity with
molten metal.
• Allow the metal to cool.
• Break away the sand mold and
remove the casting.
 PATTERN
• A pattern is one of the
important tools for
making in the mould
• It is in wood, metal or
plastics etc
 TYPES OF PATTERNS
• Single piece pattern.
• Split piece pattern.
• Loose piece pattern.
• Gated pattern.
• Match pattern.
• Sweep pattern.
• Cope and drag pattern.
• Skeleton pattern.
