Machine Casting of Ferrous Alloys

Abstract

Due to the lack of economic permanent die materials for use in Hipocasting ferrous alloys, three innovative approaches for creating a mold cavity for use in machine casting of ferrous alloys were explored. They were: use of liquid metal cooling of a thin walled die, use of a porous die, vacuum coated with dry ceramic and use of a membrane to vacuum from a disposable mold. Vacuum forming a disposable mold appears to be the most promising method for machine casting of ferrous alloys.
