Abstract Investment casting has long been known as a process that can produce complex parts with fine details. However, it not used widely for need to be anodized and whose nonuniform color is affected by the type of cast aluminum. Although 6063 aluminum in anodizing decoration purposes, almost entirely wrought. Some studies have aluminum, but no investment reported. The objective this work dev...

Ceramic cores are widely used in investment casting, and ideal properties of essential for high-quality castings. Under the circumstances requiring thick cores, solid likely to encounter deformation cracking defects due accumulation shrinkage. Therefore, with superiority ceramic stereolithography producing complex parts, hollow lattice structures were designed fabricated. The dimensional accura...

T. Galeta, G. Šimunović, M. Mazurek, Mechanical Engineering Faculty in Slavonski Brod, J. J. Strossmayer University of Osijek, Croatia For some applications, 3D printed parts usually do not have satisfactory mechanical properties, so to broaden their usage, additive technologies should be combined with the well-known metallurgical processes, such as investment and others casting techniques. 3D ...

This paper is a continuation of the project we presented at the 2010 Santa Fe Symposium® in which we defined a characterization system and analysis of data on 18K gold alloys. The research carried out since then has enabled us to connect the physical-mechanical characteristics of each alloy with its chemical composition, thereby identifying the best solution possible to produce a specific item....
