Abstract
AMONG the many outstanding advantages of the shell molding process of casting crankshafts, as described here, are the following:
-
1.
Manner in which entire process responds to a high degree of automation.
-
2.
Close tolerances that can be maintained from casting to casting.
-
3.
Raw sand requirements are reduced from 125 lb (previous method) to 20 lb.
-
4.
Results in 70% reduction in weight of chips produced.
-
5.
Resulting crankshafts have highest wear resistance and exceptional endurance.
-
6.
Gives additional design leeway:
-
Allowing the most efficient distribution of weight.
-
Contributing to engine compactness by varying the casting contour to prevent potential interferences.
