Why is wax used in investment casting?
Runner wax blends are used by investment casting companies when desiring exceptional mechanical strength and lower viscosity. This type of wax has a lower melting point than pattern waxes. So it will drain completely out of the ceramic mold during the dewaxing process without the need to use higher temperatures.
How can cracks in casting be avoided?
This causes abnormal shrinkage in this region, which can lead to porosity and cracks. This type of defect can be avoided by proper cooling practices or by changing the chemical composition of the metal.
What are molds made out of?
Molds are generally made from steel or aluminum and are precision-machined to form their specific features. A liquid material is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and fed into the mold’s cavity, eventually cooling and hardening to the mold’s configuration.
How do I stop cold tearing when casting?
The casting with large casting stress should be treated with aging heat treatment in time to avoid cold cracks caused by excessive residual stress. If necessary, an aging heat treatment should be carried out after cutting the riser or welding.
