Abstract

A method for forming drilled cast which includes drilling with a drill so as to provide communication with a cast hole includes a casting step and a drilling step. The casting step is to cast a cast having a cast hole which includes a flat inner wall surface in which width of a position to be drilled with the drill is obtained by adding first length H 1 serving as a manufacturing error range of the cast to a diameter D of the drill, which is a second length H 2 . The drilling step is to form a through hole providing communication between an interior of the cast hole and an exterior of the cast through the flat inner wall surface with the drill.

Claims (13)

1. A method for forming drilled cast which includes drilling with a drill so as to provide communication with a cast hole, comprising:

a casting step of casting a cast having the cast hole which includes a flat inner wall surface to be drilled with the drill to form a through hole;

a step of positioning the drill against the cast such that a rotational axis of the drill is set in perpendicular to the flat inner wall surface of the cast hole; and

a drilling step of drilling with the drill through the flat inner wall surface to form the through hole on the flat inner wall providing communication between an interior of the cast hole and an exterior of the cast, wherein

a relative size between the diameter D of the drill and a width dimension H 2 of the flat inner surface of the cast hole is set such that H 2 =H 1 +D, where H 1 =a manufacturing error range of the casting step.

2. The method for forming drilled cast according to claim 1 , wherein

in the drilling step, the rotation axis of the drill is positioned on an extending line in the direction orthogonal to an imaginary center line of the cast hole in a case where the manufacturing error of the cast hole with respect to the cast is not generated in the casting step.

3. The method for forming drilled cast according to claim 2 , wherein in the drilling step, the axial length of the through hole providing communication between the interior of the cast hole and the exterior of the cast is six times or more than the diameter D of the drill.

4. The method for forming drilled cast according to claim 1 , wherein the cast hole is formed by using a core.

5. The method for forming drilled cast according to claim 1 , wherein the cast hole is formed by using a full-mold casting process.

6. The method for forming drilled cast according to claim 5 , wherein the cast hole is formed by using an evaporative pattern passing through the cast in the full-mold casting process.

7. The method for forming drilled cast according to claim 4 , wherein the cast hole is formed by using a core passing through the cast.

8. The method for forming drilled cast according to claim 7 , wherein H 1 is set to be 4 mm at a maximum.
