Permanent mould

In different forms (bar, casting such as sand, centrifugal, die, permanent mould, etc., extrusion, forging, impact extrusion, pressing, sintered, powder pressing)... 

Copper alloys such as the brasses and bronzes can be cast by either the sand-casting or permanent mould cast methods. The alloys casts in permanent mould condition have greater corrosion resistance than the sand-cast alloys.52 This difference has been attributed to the greater porosity of the alloys in sand-cast conditions. 

Dust and particles releases are a general issue in all stages of the foundry process, and for all processes used. Dust is generated in the production and processing of sand moulds and cores, as well as in the finishing of the castings (both from lost moulds and permanent moulds). 

On the moulding side, a basic distinction is made between permanent and lost moulds. Foundries casting in permanent moulds, buy these metal moulds (dies) externally, but typically operate an in-house mould repair and maintenance shop. Foundries casting in lost moulds, often buy wooden, metal or plastic patterns (for their mould design) and operate an in-house pattern maintenance and repair shop. Moulds, cores and lost models are generally produced as part of the foundry process.

Permanent moulds are generally coated with a "white or black wash" these water-based release agents are refractory based in the case of the white one and graphite based for the black one. Their function is to provide protection of the die, to regulate die cooling by water evaporation, and to provide lubrication. They also act as parting compounds. 

Permanent moulds (or dies) are generally not made in the foundry, although die-casting foundries do have a workshop for die assembly, maintenance and repair. This type of operation, however, does not generate any environmental effects.

Permanent mould coatings are typically formulated using water as a carrier, a high temperature binder (normally sodium silicate) and a refractory filler or blend of fillers. There are two categories of coatings ... 

Emission and consiunption levels for permanent moulding processes depend on the type of alloy used, the surface area of the melt, the quantity of the sand cores which are inserted in the mould, and the siuface/volume rate of die casting. The sand cores are the main sources of emissions. There is no important difference between the different casting techniques. Due to the wide variety of processes and applications, it is not possible to give average data. [202, TWG, 2002]... 

Permanent moulding collection of release agent emissions... 

Oil interceptors are used on waste water from permanent mould casting foundries. The hydraulic systems of die casting automates can potentially leak oil. The water collection system is thus designed in such a way that any oil from leakage is collected and the resulting waste water flow is treated using an oil interceptor. 

This technique applies to new and existing die-casting (permanent mould) foimdries and to all other foundries with a waste water discharge directly to surface water. 

Permanent mould casting involves the injection of molten metal into a metal mould. The mould is opened after solidification and the easting is taken out for finishing. Chemieally-bonded sand cores are used to a limited extent in gravity and low-pressure die-casting.
