Ductile Iron Casting of Hub Made From Lost Foam Casting
1. Smooth surface, better tolerance than sand casting
2. Fast production lead time, less labor
3. NO mold parting line
4. Ductile iron type : 80-55-06 (QT600-3)
5. Casting hardness :BHN 187-255
Lost-foam casting (LFC) is a type of evaporative-pattern casting process that is similar to investment casting except foam is used for the pattern instead of wax. This process takes advantage of the low boiling point of foam to simplify the investment casting process by removing the need to melt the wax out of the mold.
This casting process is advantageous for very complex castings that would regularly require cores. It is also dimensionally accurate, maintains an excellent surface finish, requires no draft, and has no parting lines so no flash is formed. The un-bonded sand of lost foam casting can be much simpler to maintain than green sand and resin bonded sand systems.
