To improve the accuracy of making a casting pattern from a casting model or mold (2, 2') in a molding material (M) retained in a foundry form, a single pressure pulse (P) is applied to the molding material which, however, has two phases of pressure gradient, namely a first or initial phase (1) of low pressure gradient extending up to about 1 to 3 bar during between about 10-100 m/sec, for example about 50 m/sec, to initiate fluidization of the molding material. The then fluidized and still fluidized molding material is compacted by raising the pressure from the initial low pressure pulse abruptly at a second and much higher pressure gradient to the customary compaction pressure of between 3 to 6 bar. The two-phase pressure pulse can be applied, selectively, only in a region above the model or throughout the entire mold. The pressure pulse can be generated by applying the pulse but controlling a gas admission valve (11) for an initial slow valve-opening movement, for example by throttling hydraulic counterpressure (35, 36), and then permitting rapid opening movement of the valve (11) by inhibiting the throttling; or (FIG. 4) by applying the full pressure pulse from the valve and interposing a throttle (41) in the path of the air flow from a compressed air chamber (5) to the mold box (3, 4), for example by a relatively shiftable apertured plate operable above a similarly apertured counter plate for selective alignment and misalignment of the respective apertures. |

Foundry molding material is poured or pneumatically infed into a mold frame arrangement containing at least one pattern, a molding frame and a filling frame. Subsequently, the foundry molding material is compacted by a compacting arrangement containing, for example, any one of a compressed-air surge compacting device, a combustion-force surge compacting device, a pressure compacting device, a vibrational compacting device or a combined pressure-and-vibrational compacting device. Also during such compacting operation at least the predominant portion of the foundry molding material contained in the filling frame is displaced into the molding frame. During such compacting operation a preselected expanding gas is infed into predetermined local regions of the foundry molding material while such material is being compacted. As a result, there are formed zones of reduced packing density in the foundry molding material. During the further compacting operation, but in any case at the end of such compacting operation, the zones of reduced packing density are eliminated and the packing density of such zones is at least approximately equalized with the packing density prevailing in the remaining zones of the foundry molding material. |

A method and apparatus for producing flaskless foundry molds made up of copes and drags of wet casting foundry sand, which is blasted into a cavity to form the mold with the use of vacuum. The sand is pressed mechanically while aspirating air therefrom. The gap coming into existence between the pressing plate and the back side of a mold during pneumatic impact compaction is filled with sand before pressing so that a flat back side is produced on the mold so that when casting takes place later there is not danger of the bottom of the mold fracturing or of deformation taking place. |

In an apparatus for compressing foundry moulding material by pressure gas comprising a pressure vessel for the pressure gas forming an inlet pressure chamber, a moulding chamber positioned below it formed from moulding boxes with sand frames and a pattern plate with pattern on which the moulding material is loosely heaped up prior to compression and a large-area valve arranged between the pressure vessel and the moulding chamber, its closure member frees the valve opening in a few milliseconds, accompanied by the joint action of the pressure in the pressure vessel and thereby moves into the moulding chamber. The closure member is brought into the closed position by a pressure cylinder, whose piston is connected on the stroke side to a high pressure source and with its opposite side forms the movable termination of a gas-pressurized pressure reservoir, the high pressure side outflow being constructed in such a way that the pressure medium flows out at a speed of more than 10 m/s, accompanied by the simultaneous acceleration of the piston under the pressure in the pressure reservoir and the closure member into the open position. |

An apparatus for the compaction of foundry sand using a pressurized gas method is made up of a conventional flask closed by a pattern plate with a pattern and has a filling frame and a chamber over the foundry sand heaped on the pattern. A high-speed filling of the chamber is carried out by gas under pressure in a matter of milliseconds so that the foundry sand is compacted while at the same time the pressure falls. In order to be certain of an even and reproducible compacting effect on the sand whatever way of producing the gas pressure is used, i.e. with or without an explosion of a gas mixture to get a gas pressure wave, use is made of a piston plate that is placed a small distance over the surface of the sand filling for separating the sand from the gas pressure space at least at the beginning of the action of the gas, such piston plate being freely movable and having an outline generally the same as the free cross section of the filling frame and the flask. The piston plate is returned to its initial position after sand compaction. |

An apparatus for the introduction of a gaseous medium into a chamber, especially for compressing casting molding material with a high-pressure gaseous medium supplied by a pressure vessel linked with the chamber by means of a valve system. The system has a seat having traversing openings which can be covered or uncovered by a stroke-activatable valve plate. The gaseous medium flows freely round the surface of the valve plate. The valve plate also is provided with traversing openings which, however, are displaceably arranged vis-a-vis the traversing openings of the valve seat. To trigger a pressure shock from the gaseous medium necessary to effect compression, an elevating mechanism for the valve is activated to lift the valve plate. The pressurized gaseous medium then flows round, as also throughout the valve plate and acts on the surface of the chamber. |

In a process for compacting foundry mold making material, and more specially wet foundry sand, by the violent effect of gas pressure on the free surface of the mold material heaped on to the pattern, the compacting effect may be made better and the height of extra material on the pattern may be better controlled by placing a gas-permeable further or auxiliary mass on the free surface of the mold material. The further material is made up of separate pieces of material that may be moved in relation to the surface of the mold material, the gas pressure taking effect on the free surface of the further mass. The further mass may be used in compaction processes in which the pressure wave is produced by expansion of gas from a receiver and processes in which the wave is produced by an explosion. |

A device for compacting a moulding mixture in which the latter is subjected to the action of compressed air by supplying the air into a reservoir under a pressure exceeding 20 kg/cm2 in such an amount that 3 to 40 volumes of air under a normal pressure are provided per unit or volume of the mixture being densified. Then the reservoir is discharged during a time interval not exceeding 0.15 sec. by directing the flow of air into the mixture in a moulding box. The reservoir is formed by a chamber of a housing and at the external side of this housing under a discharge opening closed by a valve there is mounted a plate forming an additional chamber. The plate has holes for a uniform distribution of the air over the surface of the mixture being compacted.
