Keywords: shell mold, refractory, slurry, investment casting ***1 INTRODUCTION Investment casting is also known as lost wax casting Investment casting is widely used for producing complex geometries of ferrous and nonferrous materials [1] Much advancement made to the process due to the growth of technologyZircon is used in either the prime slurry and/or stucco in a majority of investment casting foundries The current shortage in the supply of zircon, together with its rising price, means that many Characterization of ZirconBased Slurries for A good range for slurry pH is 9698 Some foundries prefer to keep slurry pH in a higher range, 95100 If slurry pH has been allowed to drop to the 9092 level, care must be taken not to shock the slurry Adjustments to bring slurry pH into a higher range should be pH Control in Investment Casting Slurries REMETThe casting of a bolt is used to demonstrate that metal castings of complex geometry can be fabricated using investment casting with ice patterns Ice patterns generated by rapid freeze prototyping or a molding process can be used to make ceramic investment molds for metal castings Due to the use of ice, the ceramic slurries must be poured [PDF] Study of Ceramic Slurries for Investment Casting investment casting process are constantly being sought Wax is the most commonly used material to make patterns in investment casting [1, 2] Stresses applied by wax as it is heated Due to the use of ice, an alcohol based slurry system must be used for the investment mold because molding is done below the water freezing pointStudy of Ceramic Slurries for Investment Casting with Ice
A composition and method for forming investment casting shells includes using colloidal silica, zircon flour, and fused silica in a slurry which is applied to a pattern After the slurry is applied to the pattern, it is allowed to partially or completely solidify After the shell has solidified, the pattern may be melted or otherwise removed Typical ingredients in an investment casting slurry include: colloidal silica, water and/or polymers, wetting agents, antifoaming agents, and refractory flours All of these ingredients play an important role in the behaviour of the slurry and the resulting properties of the shell The raw materials (refractory, binder, wetting agent, and Monitoring and controlling viscosity of ceramic Wetting Agent for the Investment Casting Process VICTAWET® 12 is a nonionic, lowfoaming, organic phosphate ester, wetting agent that is effective in both acidic and alkaline binders used in the investment casting process This product provides good wetting of waxes, fast wettingin of slurry refractories and does not degrade slurry lifeSlurry Additives REMET Investment Casting Institute Topic Area: Process Improvement Shell Abstract REMET has formulated the industry’s first quick setting polymer which confers the advantage of fast drying whilst maintaining reliable and convenient slurry characteristics and maintenance In order to quantify the performance and operating mechanism of theInvestment Casting Institute Topic Area: Process Investment casting (also known as lostwax casting) is an industrial process based on one of the oldest known metalforming techniques It was developed over 5500 years ago and continues to be an integral part of metalworking to this day Investment casting takes a wax outline of a part and coats it with a ceramic materialInvestment casting Archives Page 5 of 5 Ferralloy Inc
