Sand casting ductile iron crankshaft

Part name: ductile iron sand casting crankshaft

Metal: Ductile iron or cast steel

Casting process: precoated sand casting or shell mold casting techniques

Precoated sand casting process, also known as shell mold casting, is one of resin coated sand casting techniques. Compared with resin sand casting method and green sand casting techniques, the pre-coated resin sand casting is the most precision casting process, even close to investment casting. Baoding Guokun precoated sand casting products are with better surface quality, less sand casting defects, and very high dimensional accuracy with general casting tolerance ISO 8062 CT8.

What is crankshaft?

A crankshaft is a rotating shaft in an engine that converts the pistons’ reciprocating motion into rotational motion. It’s key mechanical component of an internal combustion engine’s power transmission system. Depend on different industrial application, Baoding Guokun can produce and export the different metal crankshaft which produced in different process, including:

Crankshaft
Process	Metal	Benefits
Forged crankshaft	carbon steel, alloy steel, high alloy steels	Mold forging steel crankshafts are with lighter weight, more compact dimensions and better inherent samping. But carbon steel crankshaft need additional heat treatment to reach the desired mechanical properties.
Cast crankshaft	cast iron, ductile iron	Sand casting ductile iron crankshafts can be used in cheape production engines where the loads are lower.
Machined crankshaft	carbon steel, alloy steel, special steel	Custom crankshaft can be machined form steel billet, suitable for small production runs without high up-front costs. Because machined steel crankshaft is no need the mold for forging process and casting techniques. But the machined crankshaft’s prices are higher than forging crankshaft and cast iron crankshaft because high material cost, removing extra material by machining process and additional heat treatment.

Sand casting process for cast iron crankshaft

And the molding material of precoated sand casting is a mixture of dry, fine silica sand with minimal clay content and 3~8 percent thermosetting resin. When the molding mixture drops on to the heated pattern plate, a hard shell of around 6mm~12mm thickness if formed. In order to cure the shell completely, it must be heated to 440 to 650°F for several minutes. And the shell mold casting process is no need to use the sand box when pouring. So the small footprint and less sand used in casting will cause less environmental pollution.

Shell mold casting advantage and disadvantage

Advantages: Can form complex shapes and fine details; Very good surface finish; High production rate; Low labor cost(if automated); Low tooling cost; Little scrap generated; Can produce very large parts; Can form complex shapes; Many material Options; Low tooling and equipment cost; Scrap can be recycled; Short lead time possible

Disadvantages: High equipment cost; Poor material strength; High porosity possible; Secondary machining often required; High labor cost(if done manually)

Shell moulding casting process has many advantages, including high quality surface finishes and dimension accuracy CT8, low tooling cost, complex shapes casting products, short lead times, wide material options.
