The invention relates to a
brake drum
casting process. The process includes the following steps that sand is mixed, specifically, the resin sand is used as the
raw material, and a sand box is made after
casting sand is prepared according to a ratio; dies are manufactured, specifically, the
brake drum inner mold
casting die and the
brake drum outer mold casting die are manufactured according to the size and shape of a brake drum;
smelting is conducted, specifically, raw materials are prepared according to a certain ratio and placed in an electric furnace to be smelted; pouring is conducted, specifically, molten iron obtained in the third step is poured into a sand mold inside a double-layer die; cooling is conducted to the normal temperature; a casting box is opened, a molded brake drum is taken out, shot blasting and
polishing are carried out on the brake drum after the surface of the brake drum is cleaned, annealing is carried out after
polishing, and surface strengthening is conducted; and
machining is conducted, specifically, the brake drum is placed on a
numerical control lathe to be machined, so that a finished product is obtained. The brake drum casting process has the advantages of being reasonable in procedure, capable of saving the raw materials and reducing the cost, simple in operation, stable in work, high in production efficiency, high in product percent of pass and good in molding quality.
