APPLICATION OF THE EVAPORATIVE PATTERN CASTING PROCESS

The Evaporative Pattern Casting process has numerous advantages compared with the conventional bonded-sand casting process. It includes the advantage of requiring no cores, and consequently no casting fin is generated and finishing work is minimized. As a result, it offers cost reductions in casting. The paper introduces the points of production engineering which resolved various problems peculiar to this process and the characteristics of EPC-cast iron in contrast with those of bonded-sand casting.
