Types of Pattern

This document discusses different types of patterns used in casting based on casting requirements. There are 5 main types: single or loose patterns which are a single copy without joints; split patterns which have two parts for intricate shapes; gated patterns which incorporate the gating system for mass production; match plate patterns which mount the cope and drag portions on a plate for small, high volume castings; and cope and drag patterns which have separate cope and drag portions on different plates for large castings.

THE SURFACE FORMED AT THE LINE OF


SEPARATION OF THE TWO PARTS, USUALLY AT
THE CENTER LINE OF THE PATTERN, IS CALLED
PARTING LINE.

SPLIT PATTERN
PARTING LINE
GATED PATTERN

FOR MASS PRODUCTION OF CASTINGS.

MULTICAVITY MOULD.

GATING SYSTEM IS A PART OF THE PATTERN.

MORE RAPID PROCESS.

7
GATED PATTERN

8
MATCH PLATE PATTERN

FOR MAKING LARGE QUANTITIES OF SMALL


CASTINGS.

THE COPE AND DRAG PORTIONS ARE


MOUNTED ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF A
WOODEN PLATE CONFIRMING TO THE
PARTING LINE.

MATCH PLATES ARE ALSO INTEGRALLY CAST-


THE PATTERN AND THE PLATE ARE CAST AS
ONE PIECE IN SAND OR PLASTER MOULDS.

GATING SYSTEMS ATTACHED.

USED FOR MACHINE MOULDING.

HIGH PRODUCTION RATE.

HIGH DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY.


9
INCREASED WEIGHT. DIFFICULT TO HANDLE.
MATCH PLATE PATTERN
COPE AND DRAG PATTERN

THE COPE AND DRAG PORTIONS OF THE


PATTERN ARE MOUNTED SEPARATELY ON
DIFFERENT PLATES.

CAN MAKE LARGE CASTINGS.

INCREASED PRODUCTION RATE.

COSTLY.

ACCURATE ALIGNMENT OF THE TWO MOULD


HALVES.
