Here you see how they do sand molding and iron casting in India. It looks like good craftsmanship, but very poor safety... I am curious how many eye injuries (with bare eyes close to the sparking induction furnace) or burns (using bare feet or thongs only when pouring) occur. It looks like a Western iron foundry in 1920....
Geez us....someone get me the address to this place and I will send them some of my old work boots! Looks like how I ran around the aluminum foundry when I was a kid while burning the bottoms of my feet. Other than the atrocious disregard to employee safety that was a cool video! I really thought he was going to hit the sprue with his arm while ramming the mold up and sparks flying around all that hair seemed like a Michael Jackson Pepsi commercial about to happen. LOL Very interesting!
And at least face shields for the furnace operators and when pouring. BTW, I saw they were actually handling steel, not cast iron. I saw them melting steel scrap and when opening the molds outdoors, they were beating it strongly with a heavy sledgehammer, but the castings did not break and on one casting I saw that the a sprue bent due to a sledgehammer blow rather than breaking off. If that is true, it is even better. Melting temperature is not an issue for an induction furnace.
