| mouldmaker | Occupational skill for the role 'mouldmaker' (also: foundry sand moulder, moldmaker, hand-moulded casting worker, mould maker, mold maker). Use when the user asks for typical mouldmaker work such as: Clean and smooth molds, cores, and core boxes, and repair surface imperfections.; Move and position workpieces, such as mold sections, patterns, and bottom boards, using cranes, or signal others to move workpieces.; Sprinkle or spray parting agents onto patterns and mold sections to facilitate removal of patterns from molds. |
Mouldmaker
Mouldmakers manually create moulds for the production of metal products. They mix sand and hardening materials to obtain a specialised mixture. They then use a pattern and one or more cores to produce the right shape impression in this material. The shaped material is then left to set, later to be used as a mould in the production of ferrous and non-ferrous metal castings.
Core workflow
- Clean and smooth molds, cores, and core boxes, and repair surface imperfections.
- Move and position workpieces, such as mold sections, patterns, and bottom boards, using cranes, or signal others to move workpieces.
- Sprinkle or spray parting agents onto patterns and mold sections to facilitate removal of patterns from molds.
- Position patterns inside mold sections, and clamp sections together.
- Position cores into lower sections of molds, and reassemble molds for pouring.
- Sift and pack sand into mold sections, core boxes, and pattern contours, using hand or pneumatic ramming tools.
- Cut spouts, runner holes, and sprue holes into molds.
- Lift upper mold sections from lower sections, and remove molded patterns.
