The present invention provides a manufacturing method of high precision titanium compressor wheel in which by removing pads attached on an entire surface entirely as a machining allowance in manufacturing process, dimensional accuracy at the time of manufacturing is intensified, and correction work of dynamic balance (rotation balance) is simplified or omitted so as to improve yield of products and suppress boosting of manufacturing cost. The outer peripheral face of a front cast boss portion of a cast titanium product is fixed with a chuck of lathe. A plurality of receiving plates projecting from the lathe are positioned between respective cast blades and front ends thereof are pressed against a disc-like large-diameter front end face formed on a rear half portion of a cast core portion. With a large-diameter front end face of the cast core portion and the outer peripheral face of the front cast boss portion as reference plane, the cast titanium product is held by the chuck and receiving plates and rotated. By turning the end face and outer peripheral face of a rear cast boss portion, the rear face and outer peripheral face of the cast core portion and trailing edges of cast full blades and cast splitter blades, portions corresponding to the pads at these portions are removed from the cast titanium product.

Methods and apparatus for forming a plurality of uniformly sized solder balls utilize a stencil having a plurality of holes of uniform volume disposed on a substrate. Solder is disposed in the holes of the stencil on the substrate. Typically, the solder is in the form of solder paste which is distributed into the holes using a squeegee. While within the holes of the stencil on the substrate, the solder is melted to form solder balls. The stencil may then be removed to leave the solder balls on the substrate, or the solder balls may be removed while the stencil remains on the substrate.

Knuckle coupler castings and methods for casting the knuckle coupler castings, where the knuckle coupler castings having enhanced bearing surfaces which may include a vertically flat surface.

The invention provides a molding die in which a whole or a part of an exclusive portion forming a cavity can be swiftly changed while leaving a general portion in a molding machine. A fixed insert, a movable insert, a pressing plate and a slide core which correspond to an exclusive portion can be automatically attached to and detached from a fixed main die, a movable main die, a pressing rod and a slide holder which correspond to a general portion by an attaching and detaching mechanism. Further, the fixed insert, the movable insert, the pressing plate and the slide core can be integrated in a die close state by a connection mechanism. By utilizing cross-feed means of a die changing apparatus and a die opening and closing motion on a molding machine side, the exclusive portion is automatically removed from the general portion in a form of an assembly, and the exclusive portion assembly which is transferred into the molding machine from outside the molding machine is automatically mounted to the general portion.

The invention relates to a multi-station casting machine, comprising a pouring robot, wherein the pouring robot is fixed at one side of an operating platform, the operating platform is distributed with at least three casting units in an annular array mode; a motor drives the operating platform to rotate, pouring is carried out by the pouring robot when the operating platform rotates to each casting unit and stops, a cylinder is rotated to cause a mould to slowly rotate while pouring is carried out, and meanwhile one part in the mould is subject to water cooling by virtue of a water-cooling channel, and one part in the mould is heated by virtue of an electrical heating pipe. One worker can pour moulds on multiple stations, the production efficiency is improved, and the manpower cost of a factory is saved; and meanwhile the lifting and falling of a mould and the temperature at everywhere of the mould are automatically controlled, thus the product crystallization is better and the product quality is improved.

The molding machine comprises a station (1) with a chamber (2) that is closed between a front plate (5) that can move and swivel and a rear plate (8) associated to an extraction piston (9), forming a shell (3) in said chamber (2) by blowing sand through an upper hopper (4). The shell (3) obtained is pushed by the piston (9) until the rear of a row of shells (3′) placed on a conveyor (7) that places them opposite a casting station. The motion of the shell (3) pushed by the extraction piston (9) is independent of the motion of said piston after being incorporated in the row of shells, and is provided exclusively by the conveyor system (7), thereby providing a shorter working cycle while preventing deterioration of the shells as they are not compressed by the piston (9) when it pushes against the rear of the row of shells (3′).

A method for casting an airfoil for a turbine engine is provided. The method includes forming a casting core to define a hollow portion in the airfoil and forming a print out region at one end of the casting core. The method also includes coupling the casting core to the print out region with at least one frusto-conical member to facilitate structurally supporting the casting core.

A core box assembly for casting a crankshaft. The core box assembly comprises axially aligned cores that define different axial portions of a cavity that receives molten metal to cast the crankshaft. Oil gallery cores are placed in the core box assembly to form as-cast oil galleries in the crankshaft. Heavy metal inserts are held by sand cores disposed in the portions of the cavity that form the counterweights of the crankshaft.

The present invention is a universal slide assembly for molding or casting systems used to introduce complex designs to moldings and castings, which is cost effective, easy to install, and easy to operate, and includes a base, a slide, and a cam lever. The base is directly insertable into a movable-die half for immediate use without requiring the slide to be individually designed or adapted to a particular movable-die half. The cam lever is capable of moving the slide towards and away from a core without the use of hydraulic power, through cam action.

The shell element extends beyond both an interior surface and an exterior surface of the structural element. The shell element is configured to shatter when the structural element deforms.

A hollow airfoil is fabricated by providing a casting mold assembly including a casting mold, a casting core, and a standoff spacer that prevents the casting core from contacting the casting mold to define a casting space. A first nickel-base superalloy is cast into the casting space and solidified to form the hollow airfoil. The presence of a through-hole extending through a wall of the hollow airfoil is identified, and the through-hole is closed by welding using a second nickel-base superalloy, without using any freestanding closure element.
