1.     Post Treatment of Casting

·        The process of performing heat treatment, reshaping, rust prevention, and rough machining on cleaned castings. It is the final step in the casting production process.

2.     Cleaning of Casting

·        The process of removing castings from the mold, eliminating excess parts, and finishing the inner and outer surfaces of the casting. The main tasks include removing cores and core irons.

3.     Cast Non-Ferrous Alloy

·        Non-ferrous alloys used for casting (see non-ferrous metals), including cast copper alloys, cast aluminum alloys, and cast magnesium alloys.

4.     Gating System

·        Channels within the mold designed to guide liquid metal into the mold cavity. It includes the pouring cup, sprue, runner, and ingate.

5.     Pattern

·        Equipment or expendable items that simulate the shape of the casting to form the mold cavity. Patterns must have sufficient strength and rigidity to ensure the formation of a cavity that meets requirements.

6.     Riser

·        A supplementary part added to the top or side of the casting to prevent defects. In the mold, the riser cavity serves as a reservoir for liquid metal.

7.     Core Box

·        Equipment used to form cores from core sand. Core boxes can be made of wood, plastic, metal, or other materials.

8.     Core Sand

·        Material used in casting production to make cores, generally a mixture of foundry sand, sand binders, and additives.

9.     Molding Sand

·        Material used in sand casting to create molds, generally a mixture of foundry sand, sand binders, and additives.

10. Molding Sand Binder

·        A material that binds loose foundry sand together to form molding sand or core sand.

11. Reclaimed Sand

·        Old sand that has been treated to restore its usability for casting production.

12. Foundry Sand

·        Sand used in casting production to prepare molding sand and core sand.

13. Sand Mixer

·        Equipment used to mix molding sand or core sand, typically featuring functions to blend old sand, new sand, sand binders, and additives uniformly.

14. Shakeout Machine

·        Equipment that uses vibration and impact to separate molding sand from castings. Shakeout machines can have mechanical, electromagnetic, or pneumatic vibration sources.

15. Shot Blasting Machine

·        Equipment that uses high-speed projectiles thrown by a shot blaster to clean or strengthen the surfaces of castings. These machines can simultaneously perform shakeout, core removal, and cleaning.

16. Core Making Machine

·        Equipment used to manufacture cores for casting. Core making machines can be categorized into jolt core making machines, extrusion core making machines, and core shooting machines based on the core making method.

17. Molding Machine

·        Equipment used to manufacture sand molds, with primary functions including filling sand and compacting loose molding sand into the sand box.
