Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce production cost by embedding thin metal plate having the prescribed surface roughness at the position of lost foam pattern corresponding to surface in a product and forming inner surface layer of the product after casting. CONSTITUTION:Two passage spaces 11a, 11b are formed to an inlet port part 11 of lost foam type, namely, foaming polystyrene type 10 having the same shape as the product of an inlet manifold, etc. Proceeded the casting, thin pipe materials 12, 13, being brought into close contact with inner circumferential faces of the spaces 11a, 11b are inserted as the surface layer. Then, the thin pipe materials 12, 13 are constituted by the stainless steel, etc., without deforming at high temp. The pattern 10 is charged into the casting device and molding sand is fieled to embed the pattern 10. At the time of pouring the molten metal from a sprue, the pattern 10 is lost and the molten metal is stuck and solidified to the outer surface of the pipe members 12, 13 to form the product. As the members 12, 13 having the prescribed surface roughness on the inner surface of the product is simply and firmly formed as the surface layer, the production cost is reduced.
