Year/semester : I year Subject : Work shop Technology Subject Code : M-105 Topic : Foundry Duration : 100 Minutes Sub. Topic : Appreciate Foundry advantages. List of moulding tools Teaching Aids : Animation Clips & Images
M105.77 TO 78 1 Objectives:
On the completion of this period, you would
be able to know:
• Importance of castings
• Advantages of castings
• Disadvantages of castings
•List of various hand molding tools
M105.77 TO78 2 What is manufacturing ? • Manufacturing is the process of transferring the raw material into finished products.
List out the different manufacturing processes
•Metal Cutting (Machining) •Metal forming •Casting •Powder metallurgy What is Machining
• Machining is the process of removing excess
materials from the work piece to make it into finished
products:
eg:- shafts, bolts , nuts etc.
M105.77 TO 78 4 What is foundry?
The process of making products from molten
metal is called “foundry” and products obtained are called castings..
eg:- Fly wheel , gears ,engine cylinder block

M105.77 TO 78 5 Advantages of foundry
• It is cheapest manufacturing process
• It is very fast. • Intricate shapes can be produced. • No wastage of material . • Suitable for mass production Limitations of Foundry
• Only suitable for materials with castability such
as C I , aluminum, Al alloys, gold etc
• Needs Furnace to produce molten metal
• Usually casting are brittle and not to tough.
Steps of Operations
The sequence of steps involved in casting are :
• Pattern making
• Mould and core making
• Melting and pouring
• Fettling, and
• Inspection Molten Metal
• Cast Iron, Aluminum etc. are melted in Various
furnaces.
