  • the invention relates to a new process for the production of polyamide castings containing cavities or fitted with a metal shaft which comprises an activated anionic polymerization of a lactam or a mixture of lactams in a mould.
  • the core or the metal shaft Prior to the actual polymerization, the core or the metal shaft is provided with an outer inflatable jacket prepared by winding an elastic tube around the inner core or metal shaft with neighboring turns in engagement.
  • the composite core is removed after polymerization and cooling of the casting.
  • the metal shaft remains together with the outer inflatable jacket tightly gripped by the casting. In both cases the high shrinkage stress ordinarily resulting in cracks of the castings is eliminated.
  • 1,214,865 describes the production of calender bowls coated with a layer of alkali polym erized lactams by rotational casting, which process removes the shrinkage of the casting in the direction towards-the metal shaft. But since the process requires a centrifugal acceleration of at least 500 g. and the axial shrinkage of the surface is eliminatedby the position of the rotation axis, the requirements for machinery equipment are very high. According to US. Pat. No.

  • the influence of shrinkage can be eliminated in any required direction, particularly by the use ofthe inflatable hollow jackets, held under excess pressure as described herein.
  • the castings fitted with a metal shaft are produced according to the present invention by a single operation in contrast to the three operations necessary for the known and previously used procedures, i.e. production of the casting, mechanical working by boring a hole therein, followed by fitting the worked casting onto a metal shaft.
  • the production by the present invention does not require any complicated equipment such as is necessary for rotation casting.
  • the process according to the invention facilitates the production of polyamide castings fitted with a metal shaft with a reproducible tension, by which the casting grips the metal shaft, depending on the tangential forces, which the metal shaft has to transmit onto the casting.
