Types of Pattern

The document describes different types of patterns used in casting processes. A single piece pattern has only one section to form the desired shape. A split pattern has two sections joined by a dwell pin, and is generally used for hollow cylindrical castings. A multipiece pattern has more than two pieces including cope, cheek, and drag portions. A match plate pattern mounts the cope and drag sections of a split pattern on opposite sides of a metal or wood plate, dividing the pattern along the parting line.

Single Piece Pattern:

As the name denotes a single piece that means it has only 1 section, and inside this, the shape
of the pattern is made.

Split Pattern:
It has two sections and this two-section is connected by pin named dwell pin to attach the
two-portion.

When we joined the two-block the joining surface is called parting surface.

Generally, it is used to make the hollow cylindrical casting.


Multipiece Pattern:
A multipiece pattern is made by more than two pieces, the upper one is called the cope,
middle on is called cheek, and the bottom one is named the drag portion.

Match Plate Pattern:


In match Plate Pattern, the cope and drag section of the split pattern are mounted on the
opposite of metal or wood plate.

This type of pattern is divided into two sections along the parting line formed by the metal or
wood plate.

Gated Pattern:
A gated pattern consists of:

1. Gates
2. Runner
3. Riser
In this type of pattern, the molten metal pours through the runner and then it passes through
the several gates and then finally to the pattern.
Sweep Pattern:
Sweep Pattern is designed for the half shape of the casting products, it is consisted of a mold
cavity, rotating spindle, and sweep pattern.

Its edges are contour corresponding to the outer shape and size of the casting.

Loose Piece Pattern:


This type of pattern is used when a pattern has projecting parts that lie below or above the
main parting line in a mold. That means when some parts of the product have a little outer or
inner edge than to casting those part we use loose piece patterns.
Skeleton Pattern:
It is generally used for casting very huge parts. 

This type of pattern is not totally solid, it looks like a rib cage. Where we make only the outer
or inner surface structure. 

Shell Pattern:
This type of pattern is generally made of metals and fitted on a plate. It is like a split pattern,
one half of the pattern is placed in the upper part of the plate and another one is fitted on the
bottom of the plate.

Segmental Pattern:
It is used when we need to cast a large circular ring shape product.
The final product is completed on a few repeated steps using this pattern, 1st we mold it in
one place then we rotated the pattern to the next portion and again the molding is done.
