Abstract
A method of casting utilizing an evaporable foam system with a hypereutectic aluminum silicon alloy. The molten alloy is introduced into a mold in contact with an evaporable foam pattern formed of polystyrene, or the like. The heat of the molten alloy will decompose and vaporize the pattern and the vapor will enter the interstices of the surrounding sand, while the molten alloy will fill the void caused by the vaporization of the pattern. By casting the molten alloy into contact with the evaporable foam material, a more uniform distribution of primary silicon is obtained in the cast alloy and the heat of crystallization caused by precipitation of silicon crystals on solidification of the alloy will temporarily slow the solidification rate of the alloy, thus increasing the time for elimination of pattern residue vapors from the molten alloy.
