Vacuum Casting Foundry

Vacuum casting process, also called Nagative Pressure Sealed Casting or V process casting, uses the dry sand (which is the same as lost foam casting in this point) and vacuum pressure to form the casting mold. It uses vacuum pressure to cover the heated plastic film on the pattern and template, fill the sand box with dry sand without binder, and then seal the top surface of the sand mold with the plastic film, followed by vacuum to make the sand firm and tight. After that, remove the mold, put the sand cores, close the mold to make everything ready for pouring. Finally, the custom casting is obtained after the molten metal is cooled and solidified.

Vacuum casting is different from both the green sand casting and investment casting due to the technique that is used to create molding systems. The required castings which with large size and thick walls are more suitable for beening cast by the vacuum casting process.

Steps of Vacuum Casting Process

1- The pattern is covered tightly by a thin sheet of plastic.
2- A flask is placed over the coated pattern and is filled with dry sand without bind.
3- The second flak is then placed on top of the sand, and a vacuum draws the sand so that the pattern can be tight and withdrawn. Both halves of the mold are made and assembled in this way.
4- During pouring, the mold remains under a vacuum but the casting cavity does not.
5- When the metal has solidified, the vacuum is turned off and the sand falls away, releasing the casting.
6- Vacuum molding produces casting with high-quality detail and dimensional accuracy.
7- It is especially well suited for large, relatively flat castings.

Why Choose Vacuum Casting

Vacuum casting could be your alternative if you care about the following points:

- Easy recovery of the sand because the binders are not used
- Sand does not require mechanical reconditioning.
- Good air permeability because there is no water is mixed with sand, therefore less casting defects.
- More suitable for large scale castings
- Cost effective, especially for large castings.
