ABSTRACT:
The sand-binder mixture in a sand casting mold is controlled so that it contains sufficient binder to enable it to set to form a mold, yet the resulting set mold is sufficiently porous to receive liquids and vapors from a disposable pattern and sufficiently rigid to retain the pattern shape after the pattern is removed. At the proper binder loading, the mold has porosity such that the pattern will evacuate the cavity prior to casting when heated at relatively low temperatures (well below pattern combustion temperatures) that do not harmfully affect the mold and do not necessarily remove all of the pattern material from the mold. Thus, the pattern is removed from the mold cavity, before the molten metal is added, by heating the pattern and mold to cause the pattern to become fluid and to flow both into the sand mold and out of openings in it, without the need for high temperature combustion. The molten metal is then added to the cavity, and allowed to solidify before it is removed.
