PATTERN MATERIALS
1. Wood – Teak, Mahogany, White pine….

2. Metal – Cast Iron, Brass, Aluminium, White metal……

3. Plaster

4. Plastics

5. Wax
SELECTION OF PATTERN MATERIALS
(Requirements of a good pattern)
✓ Secure the desired shape and size of the casting.
✓ Cheap and readily repairable.
✓ Simple in design for ease of manufacture.
✓ Light in mass and convenient to handle.
✓ Have high strength and long life in order to make as many moulds as
required.
✓ Retain its dimensions and rigidity during the definite service life.
PATTERN ALLOWANCE
The difference in the dimensions of the casting and
the pattern is due to the various allowances considered
while designing a pattern for a casting.
The various types of allowances are,

1. Shrinkage allowance
2. Machining /Finishing
Allowance
3. Draft/ Taper allowance
4. Distortion/ camber allowance
5. Rapping / Shake allowance
SHRINKAGE ALLOWANCE MACHINING or FINISH ALLOWANCE
DRAFT or TAPER ALLOWANCE
DISTORTION or CAMBER ALLOWANCE
RAPPING or SHAKE ALLOWANCE
❖ To remove the pattern out of mould cavity, it is slightly
rapped or shaked to detach it from the mould cavity.

❖ Negative Allowance – subtracted from pattern dimensions.
