Molds for Casting Vehicle Parts
نویسنده
چکیده
Casting metals and alloys makes most of the parts for vehicles. To shorten the time to market and get a satisfied quality new design approach have to be involved. New CAD based technologies are giving an opportunity to make molds faster and cheaper with a high quality than previously using classical methods. In this paper master mold design process including decision about materials is presented. All principals for rapid tooling molds are applied at the mold for iron casting part for trains.

Rapid-Manufacturing-Process for Elastomeric Components
The Selective Laser Sintering Process of thermoplastics (SLS) enables the manufacturing of components with complex shape in a short time period without the manufacturing of a specific mold. However, this manufacturing process is limited by the restricted range of materials. In contrast to this primary shaping process, vacuum casting allows a quick, inexpensive and highly accurate process but it...

متن کاملLow Thermal Diffusivity Investment Casting Molds using Cenospheres
Control of the thermal properties of investment casting molds can be used to improve mold filing and control directional casting solidification. Experiments were performed to design a low thermal diffusivity investment casting mold through the use of hollow spherical refractory particles (cenospheres). The number of stucco layers in which the cenospheres were substituted for silica grain was an...
متن کاملIndirect Rapid Molds for Prototype Lost-Foam Pattern Production
Lost-foam (also known as Expendable Pattern Casting, EPC) is an ever-growing metal casting technique, capable of producing complex metal components without parting lines. Mold preparation for lost-foam casting is typically accurate, but expensive and slow. The goal of this research was to develop a new approach for producing rapid lost-foam molds. With this new approach, patterns generated by S...
متن کاملCastability and surface hardness of titanium cast plates obtained from experimental phosphate-bonded silica investment molds.
The effect of 12 different experimental compositions of phosphate-bonded SiO2 investments was examined on cast pure titanium. The mold temperature was 600 degrees C and the casting was conducted with an argon-arc melting and pressure casting machine. Castability was evaluated by the volume of casting porosity, which was calculated from the volume of wax pattern (15 mm x 15 mm x 1.5 mm), the wei...
