A Study of Ceramic Core for Investment Casting Ganesh Vidyarthee, Nandita Gupta, and Himanshu Khandelwal Abstract In the recent time, the demand of complex castings is continuously increasing, particularly in the field of aerospace, automobile, medical, food processing, and machine tool industry. Investment casting being the oldest manu-
In the current research work, an attempt has been made to increase the investment casting (IC) ceramic shell's permeability by adding different pore-formers in its first and backup layers to get an overall permeable ceramic shell. The chosen ingredients for the principal and backup layers of the ceramic shell are fine polyethylene wax (PW) powder and …
Investment casting slurries are complex mixtures of materials that need to be controlled in order to produce ceramic shells able to withstand the forces and temperatures required to yield …

Investment casting is a well-known process for making metal articles of complex shape. Generally, in making a mold for investment casting, an expendable pattern, such as wax, in the shape of the article to be made is dipped in a slurry of ceramic particles, dusted with dry ceramic particulate and dried, the sequence being repeated until the ...
In investment casting, the ingredients of slurry play an important role in the characteristics of slurry and properties of a shell. The slurry is composed of refractory ... The …
Fig. 1. Production of ancient weapon heads by investment casting: (a) making of wax patterns assembled together, (b) pouring of molten metal into clay mold after draining the …
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 ...
The FastCast Ceramics Back-up slurry is related to commonly applied ceramic slurries for investment casting shell building. It contains of coarse particles (a relatively pure α-Al2O3), a silica sol as binder to assure high green body stability as well as fired strength as well as rheological additives.
Investment casting is a technique, as shown in Fig. 2, during which a wax pattern is coated with a refractory ceramic slurry, stuccoed, and allowed to dry in a repeating layering process to form a set of ceramic molds (Fig. 3).
Ceramic shell making in the investment casting process starts with dipping the wax pattern assembly (generally by hand) into a slurry, referred to as the primary coating, which governs the surface ...
Ceramic shell investment casting process is used to produce high quality casting products with relatively close dimensional tolerance. The refractory material use as primary coat on shell mold of investment casting play a very …

Investment casting prime slurries can be greatly affected by particle size distribution of the flour being used. Many critical slurry properties drainability, wet coating thickness and slurry density can be altered by seemingly small changes to particle size distribution. These slurry properties can have an influence on casting quality.
The Investment Casting Process The investment casting or "lost wax" process is ancient in its origin, 4000 BC. Although the process is ancient in origin we can attribute the success of some of our modern technical advances to the process. ... This is accomplished by dipping the wax assembly or tree into a ceramic slurry followed immediately ...
The investment casting process has been broadly used for a very long time. This process is well known for producing intricate and near-net shape products with excellent surface finish.1 Compared to other casting processes such as sand casting, die casting, squeeze casting, semi-solid die casting and plaster mold casting, investment casting is more
Welcome to the Investment Casting Institutes' Ceramic Testing Guidebook. Over the course of 2021, the ICI Publication committee members spent time providing a new resource to our members. Building on the concept that a picture is worth a thousand words, and the reality that we have new generation of employees who are more inclined to search ...
• Investment casting slurries are complex mixtures of materials • Slurries need to be controlled in order to produce sound ceramic shells. • Sound ceramic shells are required to produce castings that meet all specifications. • This first part of this presentation will review the basis for a slurry control program –Why control a slurry
