Machine casting of ferrous alloys
Abstract
An experimental ferrous casting machine of 20 lbs. capacity and adaptable to both rheocasting and conventional casting process has been constructed. It is a bottom-pour furnace in which the melting is done under a slightly positive pressure of inert gas and pouring is accomplished by pressuring the furnace chamber. Several problems were encountered during the operation of the furnace; therefore, the machine is now being redesigned and modified. Color illustrations reproduced in black and white.
