Armor and a method of manufacturing it

Permanent mold with core pulling device

An auxiliary device for use with a permanent mold in casting operations includes a cover plate having an upwardly and a downwardly facing surface. In place on the permanent mold, the downwardly facing surface defines the upper limit of the mold cavity. At least one pipe extends through an opening in the cover plate with its lower end in the plane of the downwardly facing surface of the cover plate. An annular recess located in one of the downwardly facing surface of the cover plate or the lower end of the pipe, encircles the lower end of the pipe radially outwardly from its opening. A breaking core can be incorporated as a part of the lower end of the pipe or it can be formed as a separate member. The pipe can be used only to feed additional molten metal into the mold as the poured metal starts to solidify or it can be used both to pour the molten metal into the mold cavity and then to provide the additional feed as the metal solidifies.

Auxiliary device for use with a permanent mold in casting operations

A device is provided for protecting the inner walls of casting molds, particularly molds of the permanent type which are filled by top pouring of the molten casting material thereinto, and for improving the surface quality of the castings formed in the mold. The device is formed from material which enables the device to be integrated into the casting formed in the mold and the protective device is configured with a bottom plate and a pair of laterally spaced upstanding side walls formed of sheet material. The protective device is placed in the bottom of the mold cavity and is located directly beneath the jet of molten casting material being poured into the mold. A wire lattice may be placed upon the protective device spaced above the bottom plate thereof or an upstanding tubular socket may be formed on the bottom plate.
