    The document discusses different materials that are commonly used to make patterns for casting, including wood, metal, plastic, plaster, and wax. Wood patterns are used for small castings and come from trees like teak and pine. Metal patterns made from cast iron, aluminum, or steel are used for large production runs. Plastic patterns can be made of thermoset or thermoplastic resins and offer benefits like durability and moisture resistance. Plaster and wax patterns are also discussed along with their advantages and limitations.

    PATTERN

    MATERIALS

    www.ustudy.in 1
    Patterns material
    The pattern is made from the following materials.
    Wood
    Metal
    Plastic
    Plaster
    Wax.

    www.ustudy.in 2
    Wood Patterns
     These are used where the no. of castings to be
    produced is small and pattern size is large.
     Commonly used woods for making patterns:
    Teak
    Pine
    Mahogony
    Deodar etc..

    www.ustudy.in 3
    Advantages

     Inexpensive

     Easily available in large quantities

     Easy to fabricate

     Light in weight

     They can be repaired easily

     Easy to obtain good surface finish

    www.ustudy.in 4
    Limitations

     Susceptible to shrinkage and swelling

     Possess poor wear resistance

     Abraded easily by sand action

     Absorb moisture, consequently get wrapped

     Cannot withstand rough handling

     Life is very short

    www.ustudy.in 5
    Metal Patterns

     These are employed where large no. of castings


    have to be produced from same patterns.
     Commonly used metals for making patterns:
    o Cast iron
    o Aluminium and its alloys
    o Steel
    o White metal
    o Brass etc..
    www.ustudy.in 6
    Advantages

     Do not absorb moisture


     More stronger
     Possess much longer life
     Do not wrap, retain their shape
     Greater resistance to abrasion
     Accurate and smooth surface finish
     Good machinability
    www.ustudy.in 7
    Limitations

     Expensive

     Require a lot of machining for accuracy

     Not easily repaired

     Ferrous patterns get rusted

     Heavy weight , thus difficult to handle

    www.ustudy.in 8
    Plastic Patterns
     Patterns can be made from thermo plastics and
    thermo plastics and thermoset plastics.
     Thermo plastic pattern are used for producing
    small number of castings and thermo set plastic
    patterns are used for large number of casting.
     The most generally used plastics are
     Epoxy resins with fillers
     PU foam

    www.ustudy.in 9
    Advantages
     Durable
     Provides a smooth surface
     Moisture resistant
     Does not involve any appreciable change in size or shape
     Light weight
     Good strength
     Wear and corrosion resistance
     Easy to make
     Abrasion resistance
     Good resistance to chemical attack

    www.ustudy.in 10
    Limitations

     Plastic patterns are Fragile

     These are may not work well when subject to


    conditions of severe shock as in machine
    molding (jolting).

    www.ustudy.in 11
    Plaster Patterns
     Plaster may be made out of Plaster of paris
    or Gypsum cement.
     Plaster mixture is poured into a mould made
    by a sweep pattern or a wooden master
    pattern, in order to obtain a Plaster pattern.

    www.ustudy.in 12
    Advantages

     It can be easily worked by using wood


    working tools.
     Intricate shapes can be cast without any
    difficulty.
     It has high compressive strength.

    www.ustudy.in 13
    Wax patterns

     Wax patterns find applications in Investment


    casting process.
     Wax patterns are produced form paraffin wax,
    shellac wax, micro crystalline wax and bees
    wax.

    www.ustudy.in 14
    Advantages
     Provide very good surface finish.
     Impart high accuracy to castings.
     After being molded, the wax pattern is not taken out of
    the mould like other patterns;
     rather the mould is inverted and heated; the molten
    wax comes out and/or is evaporated.
     Thus there is no chance of the mould cavity getting
    damaged while removing the pattern.
