Abstract
Abstract Process for producing a water-soluble core for pressure die casting by pre-drying a granular water-soluble salt having grain size of less than about 1000 microns so that the moisture content thereof becomes less than 1%, molding under compression the granular water-soluble salt into a desired shape and volume at a pressure of between about 1.5-4 tons/cm. 2 , and if necessary, sintering the molded salt at a temperature of between about 100°-300°C. The core for pressure die casting acting as a cavity former within a casting and substantially consisting of a water-soluble salt and having a compressive strength of between about 800-1480 kg./cm. 2 , a bending strength of between about 200-370 kg./cm. 2 , and a density of between 2.05-2.12.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A process for preparing a water-soluble core to act as a cavity former in a pressure die casting process which comprises the steps of: 1. preparing an inorganic water-soluble salt consisting predominantly of sodium chloride or potassium chloride and having a grain size of 40 to 100 American Foundary Standard Grain Fineness Number, said salt containing a moisture content of less than 1% in weight, 2. placing said salt from step 1 in a mold, 3. compressing said salt with a pressure between 1.8 and 4.0 tons per cm 2 , and 4. removing the completed core from the mold, thereby obtaining a core characterized by a bending strength of between 200 and 230 Kg/cm 2 for use as a cavity former in a pressure die casting process.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
104 words
A process for preparing a water-soluble core to act as a cavity former in a pressure die casting process which comprises to steps of: 1. preparing an inorganic water-soluble salt consisting predominantly of sodium chloride or potassium chloride and having a grain size of 40 to 100 American Foundary Standard Grain Fineness Number, said salt containing a moisture content of less than 1% by weight, 2. placing said salt in a mold, 3. compressing said salt with a pressure of between 1.5 and 4.0 tons per cm 2 , 4. sintering said salt for 10 to 60 minutes at 100° to 300° C., and
