Deloro Stellite Investment Casting Process Feinguss Prozess

admin — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 20:33:33 +0000

Deloro Stellite Investment Casting Process, Components with extremely high near-net-shape requirements and surface qualities are produced by the investment casting process. The high precision of investment cast parts can reduce or eliminate some machining operations. This process is commonly used for the production of large quantities of parts. Wax patterns in the shape of the finished casting are assembled on wax trees. The trees are coated with several layers of ceramic particles to form a mould. Each layer is applied via a ceramic slurry followed by drying. The wax is removed, the ceramic mould is fired and is then ready for casting.

Gussstücke mit hohen Anforderungen an Maßhaltigkeit und Oberflächengüte werden mit Hilfe des Wachsausschmelzverfahrens, auch Feinguss genannt, hergestellt. Für jedes Gussteil wird ein Wachsmodell in Form des herzustellenden Werkstückes angefertigt. Mehrere Wachsmodelle werden zu Gießeinheiten den sogenannten Trauben verbunden. Die Trauben werden dann mit einer Keramikformmasse überzogen, welche anschließend getrocknet wird. Das Wachs wird ausgeschmolzen, die Form gebrannt und anschließend wird der geschmolzene Werkstoff in die heiße Keramikform gegossen. Mit diesem Verfahren werden hohe Genauigkeiten und hohe
Oberflächengüten erzielt, was den Umfang der nachfolgenden Bearbeitung erheblich reduziert. Zum Einsatz kommt das Feingießverfahren in der Regel nur bei höheren Stückzahlen.

PART THREE – Sand Casting Process with Philip White and Jenny Dunseath in the foundry at Camberwell college of Art London. Video by Chris Follows part of the Process Arts Project – http://itrdu1.arts.ac.uk/wpmu/process – University of the arts London

Text Information supplied by Jenny Dunseath:

11. Take Cope off and set it aside. You should be able to see an imprint of your Pattern. Depending on its location use your hole-cutter and cut a Sprue hole by placing your hand on the back of the Cope and push hole cutter through the other side, twisting slightly.
12. Widen the Sprue hole on the top of the Cope, to enable the metal to flow. Ensure all edges are smoothed and there is no loose sand.
13. Tap on the Pattern to loosen, use a screw to take Pattern out.

14. With a set of Bellows blow out all loose sand, make sure everything is smooth.
15. Place your flask back together and pour your metal!
16. After pouring wait for the material to solidify. The amount of time this takes will depend on the size and density of the piece of metal you are creating. Large, dense pieces of metal will take more time to solidify than smaller pieces.
