Synopsis

Practical foundry know‑how you can apply today, with clear safety and testing guidance. This handbook covers the standard methods used in iron casting, from safety practices to core making, molding, and pouring. It combines practical processes with reference data to help readers work more reliably in a foundry setting.

Foundry workers and students will gain from concrete steps on shop safety, equipment inspection, and protective measures; practical tests for evaluating iron mixtures; and built‑in references on core making, molding, and pouring procedures. The material also touches on practical data such as metal weights, specific gravities, and standard testing concepts used in gray and other iron castings.

- Safety emphasis for all foundry operations, including protective gear and guarding of grinding wheels.
- Procedures for testing and adjusting iron mixtures, including Keep’s mechanical analysis and arbitration-bar methods.
- Core making, loam and green-sand molding, and the pouring sequence for complex castings.
- Practical data on metal properties, weights, and conversions used in everyday foundry work.

Ideal for readers of foundry manuals, shop technicians, and students learning practical metal casting.

Excerpt from Foundry Work: A Practical Handbook on Standard Foundry Practice, Including Hand and Machine Molding; Cast Iron, Malleable Iron, Steel and Brass Castings; Foundry Management; Etc

The making of a metal casting seems like a very simple operation - given a pattern, a flask, a supply of molding sand, and some molten metal; presto! it is done - but a little study develops the fact that there are few industries where more depends upon shop kinks and the many other essential things which make up a broad knowledge of a distinct trade than in foundry work. The industry, as such, is as old as our knowledge of brass and iron, the former having been made into castings from earliest times. Casting methods, however, have partaken of the general mechanical development of the last few years and today there is no comparison as to the quality of castings, the complexity of the patterns cast, and the speed of manufacture, with the work of a few years ago.

In this article the methods of hand molding have been carefully discussed, including the many questions of pattern construction which are more or less closely associated with foundry work. The presentation also includes the uses of the various types of molding machines, which have become so popular within the last few years. Malleable iron practice has now become well standardized and this type of casting, particularly for small work requiring much duplication, is very important. An excellent discussion of steel castings is particularly pertinent as this type of casting is fast displacing drop forgings for many classes of work.

Altogether the article represents a well-rounded and thoroughly up-to-date discussion of this important subject. The original author and the reviser, both men of broad experience, have combined to give the reader the benefit of their knowledge and it is the hope of the publishers that the book will be found instructive and interesting to the practical foundry man as well as…
