In molding practice of small castings, a vent wire is used to control the permeability of the sand molds. Its quantitative effect, however, is not known, and moreover, there can be seen no pertinent literatures. The purpose of this report is to obtain fundamental data on the vent wire.
The results obtained were as follows :
1) The permeability ratio
k before and after insertion of a vent wire is defined as an improvement modulus of permeability. In case of varying insertion depth, the following equation is the relationship between
k and diameter
D of the vent wire
k=
a1+
b1D and in case of varying number of insertion
k=
a2−
b2/
D 2) The following experimental equation is given for
k and insertion depth
H1 log
k=
a3−
b3H12 and the theoretical equation from consideration of a combined permeability is
{
k=
H2+
H2/
α((
H1/
k')+
H2)}
where
α is constant.
H2 depth not inserted,
k' improvement modulus of the permeability in full insertion of a vent wire into a test piece.
3) The following equation is the relation between
k and number of insertion
N k=
a4+
b4 log
N 4) The following equation is given for
k and permeability
K k=
a5−
b5 K where
a and
b are constants.
