Development of an automatic vacuum degassing system and parameters optimization for degassing process

چکیده
Rapid tooling technology is regarded as an important method of reducing the cost and time to market in a new product development process. Silicone rubber mold is frequently used in indirect tooling. Automatic vacuum casting system is widely used to degas in the manufacturing of silicon rubber mold, but the cost of hardware is very expensive. A low-cost automatic vacuum degassing system is designed, built and tested in this study. Optimized parameters for degassing process are investigated. The saving in the degassing time is about 23.4%. This system offers many advantages such as reducing human error of operator, reducing noise and air pollutions derived from the vacuum pump of the vacuum casting system.

Process-time Optimization of Vacuum Degassing Using a Genetic Alloy Design Approach
This paper demonstrates the use of a new model consisting of a genetic algorithm in combination with thermodynamic calculations and analytical process models to minimize the processing time during a vacuum degassing treatment of liquid steel. The model sets multiple simultaneous targets for final S, N, O, Si and Al levels and uses the total slag mass, the slag composition, the steel composition...

The effect of secondary steelmaking processes such as desulphurization, removal of inclusions and vacuum degassing followed by hot forging and hardening heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a hot-work w500 tool steel have been studied in details. In order to follow the progress of secondary steel making, the content of impurity elements such as S, P, O, H and N were...
متن کاملInfluence of degassing on hot-melt extrusion process.
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of degassing on an extrusion process, with respect to extrudate quality and drug release properties. Processed formulations were extruded with and without a degassing vent port at various locations along the barrel. All the experiments were performed under constant processing temperature, feeding rate, and screw speed. During the extrusion process,...
متن کاملAdsorption of p-Nitrophenol by Surface Modified Carbons from Aqueous Solution
Adsorption isotherms of p-nitrophenol from its aqueous solutions on two samples of activated carbon fibres and two samples of granulated activated carbons have been determined in the concentration range 40~800 mg/L (ppm). The surface of these carbons was modified by oxidation with nitric acid and oxygen gas, and by degassing the carbon surface under vacuum at temperatures of 400, 650 and 950C. ...
متن کاملChemical patterns of erupting silicic magmas and their influence on the amount of degassing during ascent
We present a chemical model of magma degassing based on nine volatile species part of S-O-H-C-Fe-bearing rhyolitic melts. It is based on equilibrium, closed-system degassing, and does not take in account the crystallization of mineral phases. For given initial conditions at depth, the model calculates the gas composition as pressure decreases, as well as physical variables controlling conduit f...
