Option A -- Multiple Cores

axle_08a.jpg (22565 bytes)

Option A uses eight single cores to produce the bolt slots.

  • On a cost basis, the production of eight simple cores for each casting is simple and low cost.

  • One negative in using the eight single cores is that it is difficult to insure that all eight cores are accurately positioned in the mold to produce well-aligned bolt slots.

  • There are also time costs involved in placing eight cores individually.

Option A (Multiple Cores) is not the best design approach for the bolt slots.
