Foundry Shop and tools

foundry manufacturing workshop with respect to sand and metals


The place where jobs are prepared by melting and pouring the molten metal into moulds is known as foundry

A mould is a cavity so prepared that it can be used to make castings by molten metal into it. 

Pattern is a model of anything which is used to prepare moulds by placing it in sand. 

The molten metal poured into mould, on cooling is known as castings

The capacity of a metal to get forge is called forgability.





TOOLS USED IN FOUNDRY SHOP

Shovel:

moulding (moulding) boxes or flasks tools used in forging manufacturing workshop

These boxes are used in sand moulding may be made of wood, cast iron or steel. They consist two or more parts. The lower part is called drag and the upper part is called cope and all the intermediate parts (if used) is called cheeks. All the parts are individually equipped with suitable means for clamping during pouring.

Wooden flasks are generally used in green sand moulding. Dry sand moulds always requires metallic boxes because they are heated for drying. Large and heavy boxes are made from cast iron or steel and carry handles and grips as they are manipulated by cranes or hoists etc. The closed metallic flasks may have a rectangular or round shape.

A snap flask is hinged in one corner and it is rectangular in shape and it is made of wood. It is used for bench moulding and number of moulds can be made from same set of flask.


Ladles: 




ladles tools used in forging manufacturing workshop
They are used to receive molten metal from the melting furnace and pour the same into the mould. Their size is designated by their metal holding capacity. Small hand shank ladles, used by a single moulder, are provided with only one handle and are made in different capacities upto a maximum 20Kg.

Medium and large size ladles are provided with handles on both sides to be handles by two moulders. They are also made in different sizes with their capacity varying from 30-150Kg. 

Extremely, large sizes with capacities ranging from 250-1000Kg are found in crane ladles can hold even more than 1000Kg of molten metal. They facilitate a better pouring control than the ungeared ladles and ensure more safety for workers.

All the ladles, irrespective of their sizes, consist of an outer casing made of steel or plate bent in proper shape and then welded. Inside this casing is provided a refractory lining. At its top the casing is shaped to have a controlled and well directed flow of molten metal.




Crucibles: 


They are made refractory material and are similar in shape to the ladles. They are used as metal melting pots. The raw material or charge is broken into small pieces and placed in them. They are then placed in crucible or pit furnaces which are coke fired. 


crucibles tools used in foundry manufacturing workshop

In oil fired tilting furnaces they form an integral part of the furnace itself and the charge is put into them while they are in position. After melting of metal, the crucibles placed in coke-fired furnaces are taken out and received in handles. Pouring is generally done directly by them instead of transferring the molten metal to ladles. But in the case of an oil fired furnaces the molten metal is first received in a ladle and then poured into the mould.
