What happens here
Patrick demonstrates 'hot box' sand cores, which are heat-cured, and explains that these yellow sand pieces form the internal passages of a casting. He also shows 'cold box' cores, which are gas-cured. Core boxes made of cast iron are used to withstand the heat and create the shape of the cores. These core boxes are specifically designed for different manifold types, such as those for carburetors or thermostat housings.
Goal: Understand the two primary methods of creating sand cores (hot box and cold box) and their application.
Tools and materials
