Special Application of Lost Foam Casting Process in Casting Production
In recent years, the lost foam casting process has developed rapidly, and the scope of application is becoming more and more extensive. This method does not need to start the mold, repair, under the core, close the box, the modeling of the use of non-adhesive dry sand filled plastic foam pattern, in the negative pressure conditions of solid pouring. It greatly simplifies the operation process and improves production efficiency; the casting quality is good and the process yield is high; it not only improves the working environment, but also reduces labor intensity. The many advantages of the lost foam process determine that it has great potential in casting molding and special applications. For example, high manganese steel parts are treated with hot water by casting surplus. The lost foam process solves the crack defects of thin-walled, wear-resistant and heat-resistant castings. In recent years, the author has accumulated some experience in the production practice of lost pattern. In this paper, combined with the characteristics of lost foam casting, the special application of several aspects of the process is briefly described.
