A Design Study in Austempered Ductile Iron - Smith Foundry Drive Wheel

Mold Cores

Ring Core Tapered Pin Core Ring and Pin Cores in the Drag Mold

The interior features of the drive wheel are formed in the mold by two cores. 

  • The ring-shaped solid core forms the interior features (rim, spokes and cross bars) of the wheel

  • A  tapered pin core forms the center bore of the hub.

The two cores are set into the bottom half of the mold and the top half  of the mold is positioned to form the completed mold.   The green sand mold is now ready for metal casting.
