A Sand Casting Manual for the Small Foundry
Here is the first half of what I think should be called the Home Foundryman's Reference. You'll find not only useful plans and projects but important details about flasks, cores, sand, furnaces, binders, coatings and thermocouples that apply to your home foundry operations.
o How to build a 2450° F furnace from a steel bucket.
o How to make your own foundry tools and equipment.
o About green sand, skin dry and baked sand molds.
o The effect of sand grain types and distribution.
o The surface area of various sands and why it matters.
o Core boxes, core baking and core buoyancy in various molten metals.
o Core filing and setting jigs.
o How to easily build a thermocouple to measure high temperatures.
o Optical pyrometers and emissivity.
You get more than just a "do-this do-that" text. Steve has extracted essential detail from industrial handbooks, tempered it by his own experiences, and delivers it in a no nonsense style that you can use. This is info you can adapt to your own operation.
Chapters include how to make a matchplate vibrator, wooden flasks, flask hardware and an aluminum flask. This section on making your own flasks is especially useful. Have you priced these things? They cost hundreds of dollars - each! Just knowing how to make your own will save you big bucks! And they'll do the same job as the expensive "professional" ones.
You get construction details on the basic "Gingery" charcoal furnace, and construction details on a 2450°F crucible gas furnace with cam operated lid. You'll get details on forming sheet metal into the transition pieces that you'll probably need for blowers.
You get useful details on thermocouples and their use in making a homemade pyrometer. Anyone trying to make castings without a means of knowing the temperature of the melt is like trying to find your way around a new country without a map. Using a pyrometer from the start will save you countless hours and days of failures and frustration.
You get details on the types of sand, bonding agents, their effect on molds and coremaking, Petrobond and more. Steve covers coremaking: cement bonded cores, bolted, pasted and leaded cores, core setting jigs and more. You'll even see cores used to cast the old Packard V-12 engines. This is effective foundry operations on the cheap.
You get simple formulas you can punch into a pocket calculator to help in design of ladles, avoid problems with core buoyancy, calculate the weight of a crucible full of molten metal and more. He talks about problems, for instance, encountered with ramming up molds with Petrobond and how to solve them.
This is wall-to-wall information. If you're looking for a basic book on foundry, I still think "Unka Dave" Gingery's charcoal foundry is still the best place to start. Once you've poured some castings, and get "hooked", you'll want to do bigger and better things - the things Steve is doing, like making repair parts for antique engines. This is a book you'll want to read and refer to.
