PRODUCTION OF ALUMINIUM POTS

ABSTRACT

The aim of this project is to produce aluminum pots through sand casting process.  The cast process involved drawing of element to be cast, making of pattern and core boxes, moulding of pattern, and core boxes, moulding or pattern, moulds assembling, melting of a metal pouring into the mould, solidification and cooling of metal in the mould cast knockout and separation of gate runner and riser, casting surface cleaning, removal of core. This process is use to produce metallic article (alloys) of desired shape, dimension, composition and specified properties from molten metal Poured into  a mould whose internal space (impression) reproduce the configuration and dimension of the cast article, with maximum accuracy.
