    The document outlines 11 rules for designing castings, including consulting a foundry, avoiding sharp angles and corners, reducing adjoining sections, and designing ribs and brackets for maximum effectiveness. It emphasizes that the designer must ensure the casting has the required strength and properties, and that the foundry can provide guidance on tooling, shrinkage, casting methods, and dimensional limitations to achieve the designer's intent.

     Rule 1:Consult a Foundry

     Rule 2:Construct a Model


     Rule 3:Design for Casting Soundness
     Rule 4:Avoid Sharp Angles and Corners
     Rule 5: Reduce number of adjoining Sections
     Rule 6: Design for Uniformity of Section
     Rule 7: Proportion Dimensions of Inner Walls
     Rule 8:Avoid Abrupt Section Changes
     Rule 9 : Fillet all Sharp Angles
     Rule 10: Design Ribs and Brackets for Maximum
    Effectiveness
     Rule 11: Use Bosses, Lugs and pads only when
    necessary
     Designer must know:
    “ How to design a casting so that it will have the requisite
    strength & functional properties”
     Foundry must be able to:

    “ Make the casting so that it has the strength and functional


    properties the designer intended”
     Foundry can answer
     Type of Tooling required
     Metal shrinkage
     Casting method required
     Conditions necessary to make dependable casting
     Finish and dimensional limitations
     Drawing & a solid model
     Most metals and alloys shrink when they
    solidify
