 Introduction
 Shell molding, also known as shell-mold casting
 It is an expendable mold casting process that uses a
resin covered sand to form the mold.
 It is used for small to medium parts that require high
precision.
 Shell mold casting is a metal casting process similar to
sand casting, in that molten metal is poured into an
expendable mold.
 In shell mold casting, the mold is a thin-walled shell
created from applying a sand-resin mixture around a
pattern.
 Shell mold casting requires the use of a metal pattern,
oven, sand-resin mixture, dump box, and molten
metal.
 Shell mold casting allows the use of both ferrous and
non-ferrous metals, most commonly using cast iron,
carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum
alloys, and copper alloys.
 Typical parts are small-to-medium in size and require
high accuracy, such as gear housings, cylinder heads,
connecting rods, and lever arms.
 The shell mold casting process consists of the following
steps:
 (1) Pattern creation : A two-piece metal pattern is created
in the shape of the desired part, typically from iron or steel.
Other materials are sometimes used, such as aluminum for
low volume production .
 2) Mold creation : First, each pattern half is heated to 175-
370°C (350-700°F) and coated with a lubricant to facilitate
removal.
 Next, the heated pattern is clamped to a dump box, which
contains a mixture of sand and a resin binder.
 Each pattern half and surrounding shell is cured to
completion in an oven and then the shell is ejected from
the pattern.
 (3) Mold assembly : The two shell halves are joined
together and securely clamped to form the complete
shell mold. If any cores are required, they are inserted
prior to closing the mold. The shell mold is then
placed into a flask and supported by a backing
material.
 (4) Pouring : The mold is securely clamped together
while the molten metal is poured from a ladle into the
gating system and fills the mold cavity.
 (5) Cooling : After the mold has been filled, the
molten metal is allowed to cool and solidify into the
shape of the final casting.
 (6) Casting removal : After the molten metal has
cooled, the mold can be broken and the casting
removed. Trimming and cleaning processes are
required to remove any excess metal from the feed
system and any sand from the mold.
 Examples : Gear housings, cylinder heads and
connecting rods.
 It is also used to make high-precision molding cores.
Process of shell molding
Advantages
 Can form complex shapes.
 Very good surface finish.
 High production rate.
 Low labor cost, Low tooling cost.
 Low tooling and equipment cost
 Little scrap generated Can produce very large parts &
Scrap can be recycled
 Short lead time possible
 Disadvantages
 High equipment cost Poor material strength
 High porosity possible
 This process is usefull for casting that may rang in
weight from 200gm to as high 200kg in both ferrous
and non ferrous metal
 Another is the resin for the sand is expensive, however
not much is required because only a shell is being
formed.
