Abstract:

Veins and penetration are surface defects which frequently occur on castings produced in synthetically bonded sand. They are frequently found on lead and tin bronze castings and occasionally on cast iron and steel castings. In order to find methods for preventing their formation an investigation was made to determine the mechanism of veining and penetration. Phosphor bronze was used in all experimental work because the defects are most prevalent in castings made from this alloy.
