Masterclass - Pouring System Part 2

The document discusses the key components of a pouring system for metal casting, including the ladle, pouring box, sprue, runners, ingates, and vents. It describes the basic setup and rules for pouring, including filling the pouring system quickly before filling the casting cavity. Finally, it outlines three types of pouring systems: pressurized, non-pressurized, and hybrid systems, explaining the characteristics of each.

THERE ARE TWO STEPS IN THE POURING


OPERATION:

1. FIRST METAL AND FILLING POURING SYSTEM

2. FILLING OF CASTING CAVITY

3. HYBRID (MIXED) SYSTEM


FIRST PRESSURIZED FOLLOWED BY A NON-PRESSURIZED
SYSTEM
POURING SYSTEM
TYPES OF POURING SYSTEMS

1. PRESSURIZED SYSTEM

INGATES ARE CHOKE SECTION


GOOD INCLUSION HOLDING CAPACITY
MOSTLY HIGHEST CASTING YIELD

HIGH METAL SPEED IN THE INGATES

Ss / Sr / Si = Sc 1 / 2 / 0,75 = 0,75

TYPES OF POURING SYSTEMS
2. NON-PRESSURIZED SYSTEM

SPRUE OR RUNNER BASED CHOKE SECTION


LOW METAL SPEED IN INGATES
REQUIRED IN CASE OF USE OF FILTERS

NON-FILLED SPRUE
LOWER INCLISION HOLDING CAPABILITY
MOSTLY LOWER CASTING YIELD

Ss = Sc / Sr / Si 1 = 1 / 2 / 2,25 OR
Ss / Sc / Sr / Si 1,3 / 1 / 2 / 2,25

HIGH INCLUSION HOLDING CAPABILITY

LOWER CASTING YIELD

Ss / Sr1 / Si1 = Sc / Sr2 / Si2 1,3 / 2 / 1 = 1 / 2 / 4
