Pattern Facility
EEC uses wood, laminate & foam patterns that are typically sourced from outside pattern shops. EEC performs regular pattern maintenance & constructs custom blocks for truck, rail & container shipments.
Sand system - 1 Walco and 1 Didion are supported by a total of 7 continuous mixers, which in total are capable of mixing & discharging sand at a rate of 300 - 2000 lbs (136 - 909 kg) per minute. Our on-site sand reclamation system, which can process up to 90% of reclaim sand guarantees that sand is conditioned to ensure optimal properties when blended. Chemically bonded sand molds (Furan).
Pit Molding - Up to 20' ( 6.1 M ) wide x 133' (40.5 M) long x 6' (1.8 M) deep and 6.4 M (21') wide x 87' (26.5 M) long x 8' (2.4 M) deep
Floor Molding Mobile mixer capable of 1 T (909 kg ) /min. with 90 T (81.6 M/T ) capacity Flask sizes up to 3.7M (12') X 6.7M (22') rectangular and 4.9M (16') square with Mold heights up to 4.3M (14')

Mold Design Considerations
Taper
H/D ratio Smooth walled or corrugated Wall Thickness Corner Radius Curvature
Steelworks Practices
Ingot Mold Temperature at start of cast (~100°C is ideal) Preheat when cold
Ingot Mold cooling after use Slow cool in air
Ingot Mold spacing for teeming Adequate space for uniform heat dissipation
Handling Avoid rough handling during stripping
Internal Surface Conditioning Program Remove oxidized layer and shallow cracks
Foundry Processes
Chemistry Control Effects of C, Si, Mn, S, Ti Deleterious effects of Pb, Cr, P
Solidification Control Inoculation Teeming “Shakeout” time
Effects of Elements in Gray Iron
Carbon and Silicon (C.E.) Increases graphite volume and coarseness Reduces Tensile Strength
Manganese and Sulfur MnS promotes graphite nucleation Refine graphite Promote Pearlite
Titanium Refines graphite Increases ferrite
Deleterious Elements
Lead Produces abnormal graphite (spiky, mesh, Widmanstätten)
Chromium Causes shorter, thinner graphite flakes Can form large carbide particles
Phosphorus Can form FeP eutectic phase
Foundry Practices
Inoculation Gating and Pouring “Shakeout” time
Foundry Practices Inoculation - Control of solidification by the addition of
FeSi, Al, Ca, etc. in the iron prior to pouring Promotes small, uniform “Type A” graphite flakes by providing
nucleation sites Prevents under cooling and “chill” (formation of primary carbides)
“Shakeout” Practice - removal of the cast iron mold from the molding sand
Cooling rate after solidification is critical factor in obtaining optimum microstructure and resultant mold life
Premature “shakeout” produces a fast post-solidification cooling rate High residual stresses Excessive pearlite in the microstructure Poor mechanical Properties
Summary
Large ingot molds are exposed to severe temperature gradients and stresses
Optimum mold life can be achieved with: Selection of the cast iron (gray or ductile) Mold Design (wall thickness, corner radii, etc.) Steelworks Practices (preheating, cooling, spacing,
handling, conditioning) Foundry Practices (chemistry control, inoculation,
gating/pouring, shakeout control)
