It is a overwhelm swerve that silica sol casting process replaces the rough inferior urine glass process in whole preciseness casting industry, specially for stainless steel steel cast and admixture steel casting. Besides the introduce molding substantial, the silica sol casting process has besides being innovated to much steadier and less heat expanding .
investment ( lost wax ) cast is a method of preciseness casting which produces building complex near-net-shape details using rejoinder of wax patterns. Investment casting or lost wax is a metal imprint process that typically uses a wax pattern surrounded by a ceramic plate to make a ceramic mold. When the shell dries, the wax is melted away, leaving only the shape. then the molding component is formed by pouring melt metal into the ceramic mold .
According to the different binders for plate construct, the investment roll could be divided into silica sol binder investment cast, water glass binder investment molding and the investment casting with their mixtures as binder materials. Silica sol is a distinctive water-based binder with a silicic acid colloid structure. It is a polymer colloidal solution in which highly dispersed silica particles are soluble in body of water. The colloidal particles are ball-shaped and have a diameter of 6-100nm. The process of investment frame to make the beat is the serve of gelling. There are many factors influencing gelation, chiefly electrolyte, ph, sol concentration and temperature. There are many types of commercial silica sols, and the most use is alkaline silica sol with a silica content of 30 %. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the long shell-making cycle of the silica sol shell, a quick-drying silica sol has been developed in late years. The procedure of making silica sol beat is relatively simple. Each process has three processes : application, sandpaper, and drying. Each process is repeated many times to obtain a multilayer blast of the necessitate thickness .
In the silica sol shell making procedure, dry is the most critical action. Through dry, the water is volatilized, the silica sol gels, and the fractious particles are firm bonded in concert, thereby obtaining a high-strength shell. This is a beneficial preparation for the subsequent project .
The casting obtained by the silica sol shell making process has low surface roughness, high dimensional accuracy and long shell making cycle. This march is widely used in casting high-temperature heat-resistant alloys, heat-resistant steels, stainless steel steels, carbon paper steels, gloomy alloys, aluminum alloys and copper alloys .
The silica sol preciseness lost wax investment draw process is desirable for repeatable output of net shape casting components from a variety of different metals and high performance alloys. Although broadly used for little castings, this process has been used to produce accomplished aircraft door frames, with steel castings of up to 500 kgs and aluminum castings of up to 50 kilogram. Compared to early casting processes such as fail cast or sand cast, it can be an expensive process. however, the components that can be produced using investment shed can incorporate intricate contours, and in most cases the components are shed near net shape, thus necessitate little or no rework once cast .
