Assessment of the possibility of utilisation of used ceramic moulds originated from the investment casting technology

Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2009, Vol 9, Issue 2

Abstract

Review of wastes generated by investment casting technology and discussion on possibilities of disposal of the largest quantity waste from this technology - used ceramic mould is presented in the paper. Preliminary examinations of disintegration process of used ceramic mould conducted in various testing conditions were performed in the frame of presented research. Applied system of disintegration doesn’t warrant obtained material to be suitable for reuse in production of ceramic moulds. Investigations of the inter-phase boundary: ceramic mould-casting were performed to examine environmental harmfulness of used ceramic moulds. Additionally ecologic assessment of spent moulds by means of it’s elution in the aspect of qualifying possibilities of it’s disposal were performed. Gained results qualify the waste from ceramic mould to storage in deposits for neutral wastes.
