Title: Thin Wall Iron Castings

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/792702· OSTI ID:792702

Results of an investigation made to develop methods of making iron castings having wall thicknesses as small as 2.5 mm in green sand molds are presented. It was found that thin wall ductile and compacted graphite iron castings can be made and have properties consistent with heavier castings. Green sand molding variables that affect casting dimensions were also identified.
