MEP-103 L-3 T-1 P-0

No. of contact hours/semester: 50

Corse Objective: To impart knowledge to the students on various aspects of metal
foundry practices and various operations involved in it. Apart from metal melting, mould
design and special metal casting processes the course also aims to disseminate
knowledge on health, safety and environment related issues associated with the foundry
operations.
Software required: Appropriate Multimedia, Simulation and Animations system e.g.
Calcosoft, Mavisflow and FEMAP etc.
Unit -I
Selection of Metals and alloys for Casting. Melting Furnaces (Crucible Electric Arc
Induction cupola et) and Melting of Metals. Melting Fluxes, Role and Functions of
Fluxes. Solidification of Castings, Solidification time of Castings.
Heat Treatment of Casting: Principles of various heat treating processes, the effect of
processing on the properties of metals and the dependence of metal properties upon
alloying Unit -II
Casting Design considerations: Design and Design Considerations for Mould, Gating
System, Riser. Spiral Mould Method for Checking Fluidity. Gating Ratio. Aspiration
Effect. Filling Time Estimation.
Casting Defects: Their causes and their removal. Cleaning of Casting,

Unit -III
Inspection, repairs and salvage of Casting: Detection of defects, cracks, and
inclusions within solids by means of radiation, elastic strain energy,
electromagnetism, optics, etc. Quality Control in Foundries

Unit -IV
Special Casting Processes: Sand Mould Casting, Shell Mould Casting, Investment
Casting, Die Casting, Single Crystal Component Casting.
Specific Foundry Considerations for Grey CI, Steel and non-ferrous Foundry Practices.
Foundry Mechanization.
Unit -V
Pollution Control in Foundries: Possible Sources of Pollution in Foundries, e. g.:
Water Treatment Units, Workshops and Garage, Storage Facilities, Air Emissions fro
various furnaces and casting processes
