Nice. Can a pushrod hemispherical cast iron variant be made for a GM 3800 V6 with 2 plugs and valves per cylinder?

[@wiktorhogberg1646]

Very good video. But I wonder, do you have to take into consideration the thermal properties of aluminum when casting? I have been wanting to design and cast aluminum heads for racing applications for some time now but I don't know how to work with aluminum really.

[@newagetemplar6100]

Generally aluminium shrinks by 4% so when designing the patterns everything has to be 4% bigger in all directions. Then allow for machining, so faces that will be machined generally will have about 6mm added to them . Also it’s quite hard to centralise the casting when machining so on quite a long part like a cylinder head datum’s have to be checked. . What few people realise is that core plugs on bocks and cylinder heads are not there to stop the block cracking in a frost . They are there to support the cores ( cores for the cavities / water jackets ) . These can be clearly seen in the video. Quite hard to spot or understand if your not used to working in reverse/ negative. These are sand cast heads or old school ideal for small / medium batches . On some more modern engines they use pressure/ vacuum casting techniques usually injecting alloy from a large reservoir below and either forcing the material up and use a vacuum to get rid of the gasses . This improves quality and reduces chilling . Also on large batch production they will have a machine making the cores and a conveyor system to feed an automatic casting machine .

​@@newagetemplar6100 sir, where did you acquired that amazing knowledge?

[@newagetemplar6100]

@@chumbeque4561 hi , just through a lifetimes worth of engineering, I had a very good friend who had been a pattern maker all his life and used to go down at night to his workshop. All hand done using old school techniques , sand boxes , contraction rates / shrinkage etc etc . Then I had my own castings made for WRC alloy uprights and machined them myself. This also ran along side my fibreglassing skills that I had leaned previously. I am now building a BMW E36 GTR race car with all composite panels and alloy uprights . I’ve been very luck in that respect as YT wasn’t around in the early 90’s . Fortunately now there is a vast amount on YT for people not as fortunate as myself . Many thanks for your kind comment. 😇🇬🇧

[@PhaseFabrication]

@@newagetemplar6100 In the case of pressure/vacuum casting would the part still shrink ~4% or does it maintain the dimension after cooling? Similarly, would a tall sprue/feeder supply enough head pressure to decrease the shrinkage as it cools? also would pre-heating the sand mold have any affect on shrink rates if it is allowed to cool slower?

[@paradiselost9946]

@@PhaseFabrication the shrink rate is a constant, thermal characteristic of the alloy. i have three rulers that are not allowed to be mixed up. brass, iron, aluminium. theyre precalibrated patternmakers rulers with the offset already applied. doesnt matter how its done, aluminium always shrinks a certain amount as it cools from a certain temperature.

[@dekonfrost7]

[@Peacewitheveryone]

I love to learn this work

[@lionelhaslam1979]

The skill is in the pattern making.Making sand cores is just filling boxes with sand then stacking them in the correct sequence.

[@castingdesign1140]

Well, someone have to design and make the patterns so it can be filled correctly.

[@paradiselost9946]

the way that simulation on the fill worked, and how it actually did work with the slag all coming up in the final central riser... iunno if this was a middle finger to every pattern maker since the bronze age, or if it was a tribute... that was magic. at first im like... wtf is that coruscation? oh. tis the nasties all forced up and out...

[@Filholh]

@@castingdesign1140 Your work is awesome. Where do you do your work?

[@robertfontaine3650]

From what I can tell most racecar heads are machined from billet. What is the reason for casting then machining?

[@nNataXx]

It costs less to make cast cylinder heads, it's quicker and a cast cylinder head is better than a billet one because it dillates and deforms less. Billet = stronger but less durable (in F1, Nascar, ... endurance racing, cast cylinder heads are used).

You could be able cast from melted soda cans but that would be probably full with porosity. We use customer defined aluminium alloy.
