Original abstract

Investment casting technology is one of the foundry technologies enabling to achieve both very narrow dimensional casting tolerances (so called net shape technology) and also very complex casting shapes. The whole concept of the three years research joint project of Fimes,a.s. (aluminium investment casting foundry) and the Brno University of Technology, is focused to development of this technology. The main goal of this research is the implementation of the achieved results into daily Fimes foundry practice and thus to increase the foundry chances to address customers from aircraft,aerospace, defence and similar hi-tech industries. The whole project is divided into 7 parts following themain phases of investment casting technology from mother die, wax pattern, ceramic shell mould, preparation of aluminium melt, pouring technique, filling the ceramic mould cavity by molten metal to finishing operations.

Czech abstract

Technologie vytavitelného modelu je jednou ze slévárenských technologii umožňující dosáhnout velmi úzkých rozměrových tolerancí a také tvarově velmi složitých odlitků. Celý koncept tříletého výzkumu společně s firmou Fimes, a.s. (Slévárna přesného lití hliníkových odlitků) a Vysokého učení technického v Brně, je zaměřen na vývoj této technologie. Hlavním cílem tohoto výzkumu je implementace dosažených výsledků do provozu slévárny Fimes. Celý projekt je rozdělen do sedmi částí: matečná forma, voskový model, keramická forma, příprava slitiny, odlévání, plnění keramické formy, dokončovací operace.
