A core is a predetermined shaped mass of dry sand which is made separately from mould.
It is positioned in a mould to obtain a shape in the casting which cant be readiliy
obtained by the proper mould.
It requires core box pattern equipment, baking equipment and handling facilities.
Cores should be of sufficient thickness and free of fragile or overhanging projections
which might be easily broken during the necessary handling and transportation involved
in the production.
Types of Cores :Cores are generally made up of green samd or dry sands.The green
sand cores have relatively low strength having made of green sand , where as dry sand
cores are made of sand and binders, which develop strength when baked. These can also
be classified according to their position or use, according to which these can be
either horizontal, vertical, balanced,drop and other types.
hydrostatic molten metal pressure.In some cores small metal props ( Chaplets) are also
used which are placed in a mould cavity to support the cores and these props fuse and
become part of the casting.The chaplets must be therefore clean, dry and selected of
proper material. Sometimes small metal insert hinge tubes are also used to provide
support for tiny hole forming cores. As far as possible chaplets should be avoided as
fusing is not always easily accomplished and it may lead to production of unsound
casting.
Some cores are nearly fully surrounded by metals and a vent then become necessary to
release the gasses generated during pouring. If possible the hole is formed by the vent
core should be incorporated as functional part of the design or located where it will be do
no harm, otherwise welding or plugging is required.
4. Core must have high dry strength or be capable of being handled after drying. If
required wires must be inserted into the core while it is being moulded to give added
strength.
