This module unit has been designed to equip the trainee with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes required in casting of metallic and plastic components and machine parts. The graduates of this module will be able to work in both formal and informal industrial sectors.
Foundry technology is the study of producing components and machine parts by casting. The process of casting involves pattern making, making of moulds, melting and pouring of molten metal into the moulds and fettling.
In this module unit, various casting methods such as sand casting, investment casting, shell moulding, die casting, centrifugal casting and plastic moulding are covered.
The instructional approach will lay emphasis on demonstrations, industrial visits, practical, project work and industrial attachment.
The assessment mode for this module shall be mainly practical.
Some of the reference materials for this module are listed at the end of the module.
Trainees undertaking these modules require knowledge in engineering materials, engineering drawing, bench work, fitting and machining.
