0IE-CASTING DOES AWAY
WITH SAND-MOLD METHOD
Grentcr Precision IL Secured md
Economy Results From
New Process.

Ordinarily cas-, mechanical parts,
which are required to have finished
surfaces accurate within small frac-
lions OF inches. must be finished In the
machine shop before use. Since the
automohilc gave rise TO an industry
producing precision machinery In
neretoiore undrcamcd of quantity a
new method of making accurate small
parts in the foundry. which require
no machining. has been developed. This
method is called die casting.
Ordinary castings arc made In sand
molds, these molds being made by
packtnG sand about wood or metal pat

larger size than the finished casting is

Die castings. however. are cast in
steel dies similar TO forming dies for
sheet metal Stampnes on dies for drop
forGinGs. The metal is introduced into
these dies under pressure instead Of
cciug merely poured. and due To the
perfectly shaped and smooth surface or
the die the resulting casting is or

comes to accurate dimensions without
subsequent work.
The first die castings wcro princi-

are die cast. Besides quicker and more
uniform production, die castings in
any quantity OF parts, is more eco
nomical. because many expensive ma
Ginning operations arc eliminated and
because wastaEc is reduced through
greater uniformity and tho elimination
of most Of the chance of spoilagc In
tho machine shop.
\ striking example Of die casting
economy ia furnished by the Splitdort
Electrical Company. OF Newark. y. J.
At tho hcEinniuG Of the war. when the
standardized on this con-

castings were being used for the metal
inserts of tho nodded Insulation parts.
Much trouble WAS experienced with
sand holes and porous castings after
machining. which caused the rejection
OF so 10 So per cent of them by tho
rigid army iuSncction. Brass die cast
incs we're substituted and the loss WAS
reduced to less than per cent. III
addition to this enormous economy
practically the entire cost OF machin
ing the former sand east parts was
saved and. " hat is hest of all. the
concern was able 10 supply tho fun

pano- Suiza engines. Liberty trucks and
many other uses. in addition TO flItng
