Illustration Casting Process

Below you can find an example of our moulding process, here production of a propeller hub:

 

 

The mould is made by Sodium Silicate bounded sand - hardened with carbon dioxide.


The pattern has been removed, and the mould is ready for treatment.

The core is being mounted.

 

This requires great accuracy.

Before the pouring a Tensile Test Bar is cast.

 

The test bar will be machined, and sent to an approved institute, which will perform the tensile test according to EN 10002.1.

Pouring is performed with 2 ladles.

Shake out is taking place 12 hours after pouring.

 

The casting is still very hot.

The casting is finished, quality checked and packed for shipment.
