The V-Process Be sure to visit All Processes
Vacuum molding process, popularly known as V-process, is a sand molding process, in which un-bonded sand is held in place in the mold by a vacuum. In this process the pattern is covered by a tightly conforming thin sheet of plastic film which is applied with vacuum after being heated. The film, conforming to the shape of the pattern, may have a refractory coating applied which is dried before filling the flask with sand. A flask is placed over the plastic coated pattern, and is filled with free-flowing sand, with vibration for compaction. Another sheet of plastic is placed over the top of the sand in the flask and the flask is evacuated. The vacuum "hardens" (compacts) the sand so the pattern can be withdrawn, the vacuum holding the film to the pattern being released at this time. The other half of the mold is made the same way. After cores are set in place, the mold is closed and poured while still under vacuum. When the metal has solidified, the vacuum is turned off and the sand runs out freely, releasing the casting. The V-process is known for the high dimensional tolerances and good surface finish of the castings. Due to multiplicity of operations it is suitable for low to medium production volumes, depending on the amount of conveyor-ized equipment within the foundry. Because the sand never touches the pattern itself, there is almost no pattern wear. Minimal or zero draft allowance can be used on vertical surfaces. Once again, this V-Process can be best explained and understood by text below, and a series of Illustrations and pictures we have collected: The V-Process was invented in Japan in 1971 as an improvement on conventional sand casting. In this process, a thin preheated sheet of plastic film material is placed over a pattern and a vacuum is applied to draw the sheet to the pattern contours. The flask containing the mold is then filled with dry un-bonded silica sand which is compacted by vibration. A second plastic sheet is placed at the back of the flask and the mold is further compacted under vacuum. With the vacuum process maintained, the pattern is then removed and the two halves of the mold are joined and secured for pouring. After the metal has solidified, the vacuum is removed and the casting is released. One big advantage to the V-Process is, pattern life is longer because there is no contact between the sand and the pattern.

First the Foundry heats a thin plastic film and place it over a pattern. A vacuum tightly draws the film over the pattern, which is then surrounded by a flask. We fill the flask with dry, un-bonded, extremely fine sand and vibrate the sand so that it tightly packs the pattern. After a second sheet of film is placed on the flask, a vacuum draws out the air, and the completed mold is then stripped from the pattern. Each half of the mold is made in a similar fashion, then aluminum is poured directly from the furnace into the closed halves. The mold is held under vacuum to retain its shape. After the mold cools, the vacuum is released and the sand and completed castings fall free. Simple in concept and far reaching in impact, V-PROCESS produces quick turn-around, high-value castings. In order to provide the highest quality product, we continually strive to improve our systems and raise the level of our performance. To achieve these standards, we maintain ongoing training programs that teach our employees to accept responsibility and to act on their knowledge. The caliber of our people and the quality of our V-PROCESS make it possible for us to create a vision for the future, and to establish our company as a leader in the casting industry.
