Σύνοψη

Since the first foundry center came into being f in the
days of the Shang dynasty (1766-1122 B.C.) in China,
metal casting has traditionally been an art and a craft
with secrets of the trade passed jealously from father to
son. Only in the last century have science and
engineering made noticeable inroads on the materials and processes of the foundryman. But casting will always be one of the most economical routes from raw material to finished metal products, and it was inevitable the art of the founder would yield to the- economy and precision of the engineering aproach.
The traditional method of preparing a mould, involves
making a model or 'pattern' of the article which is to be
produced, and forming the imprint of this pattern in a
mouldable plastic material.
The material often consist of a specially prepared sand.
The use of 'cores' has coniderably extended the field of
casting in sand moulds.
This project is concerned with the 'Computer Aided Design of Sand Castings f for the batch production of Malleable Iron 'Manhole Steps' in accordance with BS 1247: Part 1:1990.
