A core-making method of an ultra-thin annular airway core

This invention relates to the field of sand core forming, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing an ultrathin annular air duct core. Addressing the problems of poor core bone positioning accuracy in existing technologies, which easily leads to core bone leakage during sand filling and thus scrapping of handmade cores, this invention provides a method for manufacturing an ultrathin annular air duct core. This method is simple to operate, facilitates core bone forming, and achieves relatively accurate dimensions, making it suitable for forming small-sized handmade cores with small sand volumes. The mesh-like core bone dimensions provide sufficient support strength for thin-surface sand cores; the core bone positioning is accurate, preventing core bone misalignment; the core bone is welded using a 3D-printed sand mold, resulting in precise core bone dimensions, suitable for handmade core production with very small sand volumes and where core bone drawings are inconvenient to annotate.
