Proper curing time not given in mould some time.

Evacuation path Core gas provided insufficient in mould.
Resin range increased in big moulds.
Core gas vent not provided in top of the mould.
Mould & core after coating only preheated.
Premature closing of mould and not preheating before metal tapping.
Gas vent not provided in bottom of moulds.
Sand gating Mould downsprue 30 dia pouring cup only used
Atmosphere Moisture pickup in refractory bricks & sleeves

Melting :
10)
11)
12)
13)

Ladle de-oxidation addition done only once.

Batching ladle is not provided with adequate curing time & preheated
Tapping temperature not maintained
Metal holding.

CORRECTIVE ACTION :
1) Proper curing time provided in all mould
( small mould - min 4hrs)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)

( big mould min 6hrs)

Core gas evacuates properly

Resin range maintained as per compression strength report for all mould
Core gas vent provided in top mould print.
All mould & core preheat before coating.
Mould & core preheat done sufficiently.
Gas vent hole provide at 1 inch depth at the bottom of the mould.
Minimum 40 dia sand pouring cup used for all small moulds.
Refractory bricks & sleeves preheated before used.

Melting:
10)
11)
12)
13)

Ladle de-oxidation addition done three times while tapping.

Batching ladle not used without proper curing & preheating.
Control the tapping tempera.ture
Avoid metal holding.
