The shell moulding process consists in casting liquid metal inside shells with possible internal cores, both formed with sands treated and coated with thermosetting resins.
features
 |
lack of reactions between metal and sand during the pouring |
 |
the shell permeability removes the risk of internal blowholes |
 |
the metal structure is very fine thanks to the fast cooling |
 |
precision castings with strict dimensional tolerance: CT6- CT7 (ISO 8062) |
 |
uniform surfaces with roughness Ra 6,3 |
 |
controlled minimum thickness |
 |
complex internal shapes |
 |
draft angle from 0,5° to 1° |
