Investment casting is a manufacturing process to create highly accurate and intricately detailed metal components. This process, also called lost-wax casting or precision casting, uses disposable wax patterns, mirror replicas of the final part, surrounded by casting slurry after immersion in slurry drums. The wax pattern with the slurry layer is melted to result in a solid slurry cavity, where the molten metal is poured into, cooled down and solidified. The slurry solid layer is removed, resulting in the metal finished piece.
The process is relatively simple, which enables rapid production rates while ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy. Industries that commonly rely on investement casting produced parts are Aerospace, Automotive, Medical, Military, Industrial Machinery, etc.
Ceramic slurry is used in the investment casting process to create hollow molds or shells where molten metal is poured into. The slurry is a mixture of liquid and solid materials, that can have a fluid- or solid-like behavior depending on the percentage of the materials that compose it. Key aspects for its performance and quality have to do with its rheology properties. The viscosity of the slurry affect properties such as:
- Layer & final thickness
- 표면 마무리
- 침투성
- 내구력
- Edge coverage
- Edge strength
- 굴곡 강도
- 열 특성
- 매몰 쉘은 프로세스 사양을 준수해야 합니다.
- 슬러리의 점도는 표면 마감, 일관성, 열전도도, 강도 및 쉘의 기타 관련 특성에 큰 영향을 미칩니다.
- 온도, 전단율 등의 외부 요인이 점도에 영향을 미칩니다.
- 오프라인 측정 기술은 시간이 많이 걸리고 비용 효율적이지 않습니다.
- 점도 측정을 위한 기존 Zhan 컵 장비는 부정확하고 일관성이 없으며 반복이 불가능합니다.
Rheonics SlurryTrack is an integrated solution that involves Rheonics sensors, controller, software, actuators and optional additional components. It is used to efficiently monitor and control the viscosity and density of the casting slurry during the mold coating process in slurry drums by precise addition of solvent/diluent to the slurry.
