ABSTRACT:
A permanent casting mold has its casting cavity coated with a sand liner of varying thickness. The liner is thicker where the cast article section is thinner and the liner is thinner where the cast article section is thicker so as to permit the thicker sections to cool faster while the thinner sections cool slower. The different thicknesses of the liner are correlated so that the respective sections of the article are sufficiently cooled at about the same time for removal of the article from the mold. The mold is a cope and drag-type flask mold whose casting cavity halves are oversized relative to the cast article. The sand liner is formed therein by temporarily positioning a pattern within the permanent casting cavity halves and sand filling the space between the pattern and cavity wall. The exterior surface of the pattern corresponds to the cast surface of the article. Thus, the thickness of the different portions of the liner are determined by the amount that the corresponding portions of the casting cavity are oversized. A vacuum system opening into the casting cavity, when the cope and drag are closed together for casting, enables rapid filling of the sand-lined cavity with molten metal, wherein the entire casting process, including cooling of the cast article for removal, is performed rapidly.
