This is the fifth step in the reproduction process I use for making my jewelry. After the mold compound has hardened for 2 hours I use a crock pot to de-wax the model before putting it into the furnace. Duration … Continue reading →

Metal Casting Simulation: Disamatic Bearing Cap Fill, Vertically Parted Mold

admin — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 23:08:14 +0000

The waterfall action of the metal entering each cavity is a nightmare and needs to be eliminated. You are certain to find that the first “dribbles” of metal entering the cavity will end up as an “inclusion” in the casting. In all situations it is important to prevent the metal from free-falling.

Metal Casting Simulation – Vertically Parted Mold

admin — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 20:33:15 +0000

The fill and feed system for this 30 lb. stainless steel casting was simulated at Alloy Casting Industries in New Hamburg, Ontario Canada. The window on the left shows the temperature profile during the pour. Top of the scale is 1600F, bottom of the scale is 1500F.

The window on the top right shows the liquid fraction – liquid metal in the mold.

The window on the bottom right shows shrinkage porosity.

Metal Casting Technology: Naturally Pressurized Disamatic Fill System (alloy=gray iron)

admin — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 21:43:01 +0000

The use of some very specific design parameters can result in a beautifully balanced metal delivery system sure to produce great castings. Note: this design is iteration one and the precise balance is easily adjustable for the final production design. The pouring basin and feeder designs are not shown in this video. This simulation was performed at Alloy Casting Industries in New Hamburg, Ontario Canada.

foam aluminium skull halloween Pouring mold casting Aluminum

foam aluminium skull halloween
from a light foam skull to a 5 kilo aluminium skull
lost foam casting
For God’s Sake not a Damien Hirst diamond skull

first time i melted and made a mold and first cast i ever made
neighbour whas sitting on the roof
waiting for things to go wrong
laughed when my leather motorgloves shrinked 5 sizes and cought fire
by the immense heat off the molten alluminium
laughed when a black smoke arised when i poored in the molten alluminium (foam burnout)
but he whas impressed by the result off this first skull

foam skull i used
5x foam skull + shipping to holland = 100 Euro

another cheaper

hee im dutch so cheaper

or search for “realistic foam skull” from F.I.T.C.O.

the foam is burned away when aluminium is poored into the mold
think i used brusselse aarde
no i used bindolzand (rode kneedbare zand / red sticky sand)
from http://www.hazelaar.nl 25kilo = 44 euro

a petrobond sand mold. ?

wasted my motor gloves because off extreme heat
and wasted the chickens water pan

next 2 videos inspired me

i do not understand the price i payed for the scrap aluminium
on the londen metal exchange LME
the price is 2700 usdollar per 1000 kilo
2.7 dollar per kilo
2.7 U.S. dollars = 1.82679296 Euros
1.82 euro * 22 kilo = 40.18euro and i paid 25 euro
could get sleeping rich if i where a scrap metal dealer

An average aluminium can (without its contents)
weighed 16.55 grams in 1992.
By 2005 the aluminium can weighed about 14.7 grams.
thats 68 / 69 cans in a kilo
aluminium can price is 1.5 usd a kilo or 1500usd per ton

so this skull is aprox 345 cans

Aluminium has a melting point of 660°C
compared with 1540°C for iron

If all the aluminium cans sold in the UK were recycled for cash it would raise more than £30 million for collectors.
Setting up an aluminium can recycling scheme is a great way to raise funds for a charity or good cause without having to ask for donations.
