M8.Common brass for YBPM Permanent mold casting (ASTM C85700 Leaded yellow brass) *Materials for Permanent mold casting

T1 Test to check molten metal flow and trial production

T1 Test to check molten metal flow and trial production

Metalmold temperature approximately 95°C

Temperatureduring pouring about 1010°C

Evaluationwas not performed because the material is commonly used.

T2 Teeter mold test

T2 Teeter mold test

Result: good It can be used for Permanent mold casting

Thesurface of the internal shrinkage had slight unevenness but was relativelysmooth.

Incolor check at the deepest part of the shrinkage, a small amount of roughtexture was observed. (It is within the range with no problem. )

Usually,this result is considered good, and Permanent mold casting is possible without anyproblems.

T3 Confirmation of mechanical properties

Tensilestrength: 351 N/mm2 Degreeof elongation: 28%

Standards of common brass material and bronze were met sufficiently.
