A Design Study in Steel Castings -- Pintle Socket

Feature C - Flange Pocket

wpe32.jpg (19537 bytes)
  • In Feature C, the extended length of the open pocket would be produced by a thin arm on the sand core.

  • That thin arm would be vulnerable to breakage because of its length and its small cross-section.

  • Feature C should be redesigned to reduce the length of the pocket.

This not only reduces the chance of core breakage; it also strengthens the flange.

Feature C does need to be changed
